Recommendations for COVID-19 Vaccines in Infants, Children, and Adolescents, 2026-2027: Technical Report
Abstract:
This technical report accompanies the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination during the 2026-2027 respiratory virus season. The rationale is presented for recommending vaccination in all infants and children 6 through 23 months of age, children 6 months through 18 years of age who are moderately or severely immunocompromised, and children 2 through 18 years of age in certain additional risk groups, including those at high risk of severe COVID-19, residents of long-term care facilities or other congregate settings, children who have never been vaccinated against COVID-19, and children whose household contacts are at high risk for severe COVID-19. The report synthesizes currently available evidence on SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology, disease burden, COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness, vaccine safety, and vaccine cost-effectiveness in pediatric populations. Additionally, the report provides an overview of available COVID-19 vaccine products, formulations, storage and handling considerations, and coadministration with other immunizations.
