US EditionCDC vaccine advisory committee meeting canceled for next week
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting was canceled after officials missed public notice deadlines required by federal law amid scrutiny of recent vaccine policy changes.
- On Wednesday, no Federal Register notice had been posted for the ACIP meeting next week, missing both the 7- and 15-day deadlines, STAT reported.
- HHS reshuffled leadership last week as Acting CDC Director Jim O'Neill exited and Susan Monarez, former CDC Director, was ousted over vaccination policy; Ralph Abraham, CDC principal deputy director, now leads the agency.
- Greg Thorne, CDC management officer, told National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases staff on Tuesday the ACIP meeting likely would not take place because no Federal Register notice was filed, while Dayle Kern, communications officer, said NCIRD no longer `owns` ACIP.
- ACIP's recommendations require CDC director or HHS secretary approval, raising procedural stakes, while the American Academy of Pediatrics last week asked a judge to delay the meeting.
- Critics say the missed notice and leadership upheaval reflect broader dysfunction, as HHS Secretary Kennedy remade ACIP last year and sidelined the panel earlier this year.
