ACOG Announces Independent Maternal Vaccination Schedule, Distancing from CDC Guidance

ACOG issued its first official maternal vaccination schedule, recommending vaccines during pregnancy for influenza, COVID-19, Tdap, and RSV—and, for some individuals, hepatitis B or MMR—marking a break from prior alignment with federal CDC/ACIP guidance. Supported by about 13 medical societies, the guidance aims to provide clear, evidence-based information amid vaccine misinformation and hesitancy, and the article notes real-world data showing RSV vaccination during pregnancy is 68% effective at preventing hospitalization in infants under three months.

ACOG Unveils Independent Vaccine Schedule for Pregnant Women, Signaling Rift with CDC

ACOG released its first standalone immunization schedule for pregnant people, advising vaccination against COVID-19, RSV, influenza, and Tdap, signaling a formal break with the CDC. The CDC still endorses RSV and Tdap during pregnancy and notes flu vaccines should be thimerosal-free, while ACOG says vaccines with thimerosal are safe. Endorsed by major medical groups, the guidance aims to reduce confusion during prenatal care and underscores ongoing tensions between professional societies and federal health agencies.

Despite its popularity, cannabis use during pregnancy is linked to serious health risks for both mother and baby, and experts recommend discussing safer alternatives with healthcare providers. All cannabis products, including CBD, should be avoided during pregnancy.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has reaffirmed its support for COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, diverging from recent CDC recommendations that no longer explicitly endorse it for pregnant women.

This stance follows recent changes in federal vaccine guidance and highlights ongoing tensions between medical organizations and government health agencies over vaccine policies.
