Public Health Supports the West Coast Health Alliance’s Evidence-Guided Vaccine Recommendations

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health supports the West Coast Health Alliance’s (WCHA) commitment to grounding vaccination recommendations in transparent, evidence‑informed review processes and guidance from established medical and health organizations.

The Executive Order issued by the White House does not change California’s immunization requirements for schools or childcare facilities and does not alter WCHA’s recommendations. WCHA continues to base its recommendations on the 2026 Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the 2026 Maternal Immunization Schedule from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

People need clear information about current vaccine recommendations and dependable access to recommended vaccines. Public Health shares straightforward guidance about immunizations, provides resources that support informed decision-making, and offers tools that help people find information and locations where recommended vaccines are available.

Our focus is to provide families with what they need to make confident, informed decisions.
