Immunizations and vaccines for family physicians
Comprehensive resources and clinical guidance
For the most up-to-date recommendations for flu, COVID and RSV, refer to the 2026-2027 respiratory guidance. For all other vaccine questions, please refer to the 2026 adult and child immunization schedules. Updated 2027 schedules will be released in spring 2027.
Vaccination is a routine and important part of preventive care across the lifespan. AAFP immunization resources help family physicians and care teams review vaccine recommendations, identify gaps in coverage and answer patient questions with clear, evidence-based information.
Find guidance below on vaccines for adults and children, seasonal respiratory immunizations and vaccine administration in clinical practice. These resources can support informed vaccination decisions and help practices make immunization review a consistent part of patient care.
Recommend vaccines confidently and early.
