Special Edition: Flu Season & Conflicting Vaccine Recommendations

This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics released its updated vaccine schedule for children, and for the first time in decades, it does not fully align with the CDC's recommendations. All of this comes as the U.S. faces one of the worst flu seasons in recent years. In this Special Edition, we turn to Dr. Céline Gounder, a leading public health expert, physician, and epidemiologist, to help make sense of what's changing and what families should know. We break down what the split between the AAP and CDC actually means for parents, where this flu season stands right now, which symptoms and treatments matter most, and how to think about timing, vaccines, and risk moving forward. We hope this helps you feel more prepared and make more informed decisions for yourself and your family.   Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Receive 50% off your first order of Hiya's bestselling children's vitamin.
