Four leading physician organizations have made their vaccine recommendations for the coming respiratory virus season, clearly outlining their immunization advice for patients from birth to older adulthood, as well as for those who are pregnant or have compromised immune systems.

The respiratory virus season vaccine recommendations come from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).

The recommendations are available at a new AMA website, SpreadTheFacts.org, and they were informed by a structured, evidence-based review process to assess vaccine safety and effectiveness for the 2026–2027 respiratory virus season. The effort was launched by the AMA and the Vaccine Integrity Project in February 2026.
