US EditionHHS Further Constrains Certain Vaccine Advisers to the CDC, Limiting Their Input in Evidence Reviews
UNITED STATES, AUG 1 – U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. excluded major medical groups from vaccine review citing bias, raising concerns about public and clinician trust, AMA said.
- On August 1, the American Medical Association announced roughly 30 liaison organizations were notified July 31 by email that they will be disinvited from ACIP workgroups.

- Amid growing concern, former ACIP members recommended an independent advisory panel, with some organizations like the Vaccine Integrity Project already issuing independent guidance.
