Background
The Northeast Public Health Collaborative is a voluntary coalition of regional public health agencies and leaders, brought together to share expertise, improve coordination, enhance capacity, strengthen regional readiness and protect evidence-based public health. In summer of 2025, the Collaborative’s Immunization Working Group, consisting of immunization and epidemiology experts in each jurisdiction, was charged by the Leadership Group, consisting of state health officials and/or their designees, to review the scientific evidence, public health considerations, and existing recommendations pertaining to the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine. This was accomplished, with the following recommendations written and approved by the Leadership Group.

The recommendations below are consistent with the Fall 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations from the following US professional medical societies:
• American Academy of Pediatrics
• American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology
• American Academy of Family Physicians
