New Vaccine Schedule Released By American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists

THURSDAY, June 11, 2026 (HealthDay News) — In a significant shift for maternal health, the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) has released its own immunization schedule for pregnant patients.

This marks the first time the organization has issued formal guidance on the schedule. The group said the move was spurred by its commitment to evidence-based medicine amid a landscape of conflicting public health information.

Confusion among patients likely stems from a tweeted announcement last year from Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy  Jr., who said the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer recommended for pregnant women.
