Key Health Resources for Family Physicians: CDC and NIH Clinical Guidance and Practice Resources

On Friday, Jan. 31 due to Executive Order, several federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) removed numerous webpages and resources from their respective websites. The content removed largely is associated with reproductive health care, transgender care and vaccines. In the interim, here are resources that can assist family physicians in these key areas of practice.

Members can access AAFP's full library of clinical guidance and clinical recommendations here and care resources here. Members can access Immunization Resources – including the 2025 vaccine schedule here. Additional resources include:
