RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel to review shots for children
- The seven-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices convened in Atlanta this past Wednesday to evaluate vaccination guidelines for children and adolescents.
- Following the dismissal of all 17 previous members on June 9, the head of the U.S. health department appointed a new group of advisers, some of whom are known critics of vaccines, raising questions about their qualifications.
- The panel examined longstanding immunization schedules for hepatitis B and MMR vaccines, postponed a vote on RSV shot recommendations, and planned to debate flu shot guidance and a newly approved antibody shot for infants.
- The antibody showed 63% to 76% effectiveness against emergency visits for infants over the past year, while chairman Kulldorff announced plans to assess the cumulative effects of the children's vaccine schedule, stating, "Vaccines are not all good or bad."
- The reshaped panel's inquiries into settled vaccine issues have led the American Academy of Pediatrics to publish an independent vaccine schedule, calling ACIP "no longer a credible process," while states consider alternatives amid waning public trust.
