> A coalition including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics has issued respiratory vaccine guidance amid shifting federal advice. It recommends annual flu shots for everyone aged six months and older, updated COVID vaccines for healthy adults, young children and pregnant women, and RSV immunisation for older adults, pregnant women and babies under eight months. The groups say current evidence shows continued protection against severe illness, hospitalisation and death.
