Public Health Supports the West Coast Health Alliance’s Evidence-Guided Vaccine Recommendations
August 14, 2026: 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.
