Major medical organizations issued new recommendations for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV vaccines based on reviews of evidence published in the medical journal JAMA. [^1]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not issued new public guidance for 2026 vaccines, choosing instead to extend the 2025 recommendations for flu vaccines. [^2]

Dr. Bruce Gellin, chair of the board of the Vaccine Integrity Project at the University of Minnesota, said the new guidelines fill a gap left by the Trump administration in evidence-based vaccine guidance. [^3]

Members of the consortium recommended one-time vaccination against RSV for all adults age 75 and older, and adults age 50 to 74 at increased risk. [^4]

The CDC has not released new COVID-19 shot recommendations because its vaccine advisory panel is in legal limbo. [^5]

An ongoing lawsuit blocking the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from reducing routine childhood vaccines has prevented federal agencies from issuing new recommendations. [^6]

The Food and Drug Administration recently approved updated vaccines for flu, RSV, and COVID-19, which will be available in pharmacies and doctor's offices. [^7]

The Vaccine Integrity Project concluded in the journal JAMA that the newest versions of the COVID, RSV, and flu vaccines work at reducing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. [^8]
