SHM's Statement on Support of American Academy of Pediatrics 2026 Childhood Vaccine Schedule
SHM expresses its full support of the American Academy of Pediatrics 2026 vaccine schedule, released Jan. 26, 2026, and reaffirms that vaccines are safe, effective, lifesaving public health tools. In contrast to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommendations, the AAP vaccine schedule is grounded in decades of rigorous research and a strong scientific consensus, confirming efficacy of vaccines in preventing disease and related complications. SHM continues to stand with the AAP and other medical and public health organizations that anchor their decisions and recommendations in credible, evidence-based science. Following the AAP’s 2026 vaccine schedule will help curtail the recent rise in vaccine-preventable illnesses that hospitalists are beginning to encounter more regularly.

Clinical Guideline Highlights for the Hospitalist: Updated Guidelines on Acute Coronary Syndrome 2025
An MI occurs every 40 seconds in the U.S., with 1.2 million hospitalizations for ACS annually, costing over $80 billion. Hospitalists need to quickly identify ACS via EKG and troponin, differentiating between STEMI, UA, and NSTEMI. Management guidelines focus on type 1 MIs from plaque issues causing thrombosis, differing from type 2 MIs due to oxygen supply-demand mismatch. Prompt initiation of guideline-directed therapy is essential, including catheterization or fibrinolytics for suspected STEMI, and DAPT, anticoagulation, and high-intensity statins. Unstable NSTEMI patients should also undergo immediate catheterization. The updated 2025 guidelines outline recommendations by class numbers and letters, with Class 1 being strong and Class A indicating high quality. This article summarizes the key recommendations.
