The AAP is recommending immunization against 18 diseases. Earlier this month, the CDC reduced its recommendations for childhood vaccines to 11 diseases.
I got an email from the Illinois Department of Public Health detailing the Illinois vaccine schedule for 2026. I’ve been practicing for 11 years and get periodic emails from them (food borne illness outbreaks, disease outbreaks, etc.) but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a vaccine schedule from them. I expect to receive it early going forward.
Anyway, it was the same sensible, evidence-based schedule I’ve come to expect from IDPH, and matches what the CDC’s schedule looked like up until last year. I’ll have no trouble staying compliant with the IDPH guidelines.
