Meeting of key CDC vaccine advisory panel, under scrutiny by RFK Jr., is postponed
An upcoming meeting of the ACIP, a key CDC vaccine advisory panel that is under scrutiny by RFK Jr., has been postponed. A U.S. official said it would be rescheduled.
A committee of experts that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine policy — a group believed to be in the crosshairs of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — will not meet for its regularly scheduled February meeting, a senior HHS official confirmed Thursday.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was to meet from Feb. 26 to 28, its first gathering since the Trump administration took office. That will not happen, Andrew Nixon, the HHS director of communications, told STAT in an email.
