Top U.S. doctors offer updated flu and COVID vaccine recommendations, aiming to ease confusion

Leading U.S. medical groups banded together on Wednesday to issue updated autumn vaccination guidelines for both influenza and COVID-19. The joint effort, announced by top U.S. doctors, aims to emphasize the underlying science of the immunizations and encourage the public to get vaccinated.

A primary goal of the unified recommendation is to alleviate public confusion. According to the participating medical organizations, this confusion has been driven by changing advice from the Trump administration.
