> Mpox isn't endemic in the USA, and children under 18 were never a risk group > The Dengue vaccine is...not very good, and has serious interactions with the virus itself. Getting the Dengue vaccine before you get Dengue can put you in the hospital. The "asterisks" contradict what you're saying: one of the Dengue recommendation's conditions are people who have diagnostic confirmation of a previous Dengue infection (endemic areas include Puerto Rico and American territories in the Pacific); Mpox is recommended for people over 18 (minimum age) which meet a series of risk factors primarily concerning being men-having-sex-with-men plus other conditions. Seemingly having found more in the recommendations than you have, it seems to me the AAP's recommendations are complementary, rather than contradictory, save the recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination.

I mean...they're recommending a lot more vaccines in general, so I guess you can frame that as "complimentary", but the WHO document also has a number that are not on the AAP list: https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/immunization/immunization_schedules/table_2_january_2025_web_english.pdf?sfvrsn=c10d5c2_6&download=true https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/immunization/i... Everyone is fixating on Dengue and Mpox because they think they know something about them, but just in the core set, there at least 9 major differences between the schedules: Hep A, Flu, Meningococcal, Covid, RSV, BCG (TB), Dengue and Mpox.
