The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently added misleading claims to its autism webpage. We want to be clear: decades of high-quality, large-scale studies show that vaccines do not cause autism. "Parents deserve peace of mind. Decades of rigorous research have shown vaccines do not cause autism," said Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children’s health and help them thrive."

The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rbx4FX

Pediatricians are frequently asked about the RSV shot — what it is, who should receive it, and how it can provide the necessary protection for babies during RSV season.

Because the RSV shot works differently than traditional vaccines, parents have several options when it comes to RSV protection. Pregnant mothers or their newborn can receive the immunization, offering flexibility in how families choose to help their infants build resistance to severe illness. The RSV shot provides antibodies that start working to protect babies right away, and lasts throughout a typical RSV season.
