The **American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)** is an American professional association based in Itasca, Illinois, with an additional office in Washington, D.C.

## History

The AAP created the Center for Child Health Research in September 1999.[\[1\]](#fn1)

AAP was an invited participant in the [Crimson Contagion](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Crimson-Contagion) functional exercise, a national pandemic preparedness simulation which took place August 13-16, 2019 hosted by the [Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Administration-for-Strategic-Preparedness-and-Response) (ASPR).[\[2\]](#fn2)

### COVID-19

In the first quarter of 2021, the AAP received a $200,000 grant from [Pfizer](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Pfizer) for a project titled “Building a System of Care to Improve Patient Compliance and Provider Connections in the Medical Home”.[\[3\]](#fn3)

On July 7, 2025, the AAP filed a lawsuit as lead plaintiff against [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Robert-F-Kennedy-Jr), the [United States Department of Health and Human Services](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-States-Department-of-Health-and-Human-Services) (HHS), Marty Makary, the [Food and Drug Administration](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Food-and-Drug-Administration) (FDA), Jay Bhattacharya, the [National Institutes of Health](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/National-Institutes-of-Health) (NIH), Matthew Buzzelli and the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Centers-for-Disease-Control-and-Prevention) (CDC), over Kennedy's decision to remove [COVID-19 vaccines](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine) from the list of recommended vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women.[\[4\]](#fn4)

On July 28, 2025, the AAP published a revised policy statement calling for an end to religious exemptions to vaccine mandates in the United States.[\[5\]](#fn5)[\[6\]](#fn6)

On January 13, 2026, a coalition of organizations led by the AAP filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop changes to the childhood vaccine schedule announced on January 5 by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[\[7\]](#fn7)

On January 21, 2026, [Children's Health Defense](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Childrens-Health-Defense) (CHD) announced it had launched a lawsuit against AAP for "running a decades-long racketeering scheme to defraud American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule."[\[8\]](#fn8) Filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the lawsuit also included co-plaintiffs Andrew Shaw, Shanticia Nelson, Paul Thomas, Kenneth Stoller, and an unnamed Jane Doe.[\[9\]](#fn9)
