HHS abruptly cancels preventive services task force meeting

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The postponement follows HHS Secretary Kennedy's efforts to reduce industry influence and reshape health agencies, raising concerns about the Task Force's future role in preventive care.

  • The US Department of Health and Human Services postponed the scheduled Thursday meeting of the US Preventive Services Task Force, with notice sent Monday afternoon.
  • The postponement follows Kennedy’s efforts to reshape health agencies, with the Supreme Court confirming his near-complete control and dismissing the vaccine panel, prompting membership upheaval.
  • The 16-member US Preventive Services Task Force, with new members questioning vaccine safety, planned to discuss behavioral counseling for cardiovascular disease prevention.
  • Stakeholders cheered the ruling but warned Kennedy's control could lead to dismissal of the task force like ACIP, raising concerns about future independence.
  • The Supreme Court upheld the Task Force's constitutionality, affirming its recommendations are binding under the ACA, with Kennedy's near-complete control being central to this authority.
