The West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) has endorsed the 2026 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule. This endorsement is supported by over one million health care providers, demonstrating a strong consensus on the safety and benefits of the recommended immunizations. The AAP’s annual update is based on extensive medical evidence and addresses specific disease risks and health care delivery in the United States. The 2026 schedule reflects the latest science on the safety and effectiveness of immunizations, which have saved millions of lives. Washington State Secretary of Health Dennis Worsham emphasized the importance of vaccines, stating they are safe, effective, and lifesaving. He urged families to keep their children up to date with AAP recommended vaccinations and to consult with healthcare providers if they have questions. The WCHA advocates for the AAP Immunization Schedule to guide routine immunizations and conversations between healthcare providers and families.
