Top US doctors offer updated flu and COVID vaccine recommendations, aiming to ease confusion

Leading U.S. medical groups banded together on Wednesday to issue updated flu and COVID-19 vaccination guidelines for the fall season. The joint initiative by top U.S. doctors aims to encourage the public to receive the updated shots while highlighting the underlying science to support the recommendations.

A primary goal of the unified guidance is to ease public confusion surrounding vaccine protocols. According to the medical groups, this confusion was caused by the policies and approach of the Trump administration.
