RFK Jr.’s new vaccine advisors will vote on flu shots containing mercury

  • The newly appointed vaccine advisory panel, selected by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, is scheduled to vote on the use of thimerosal, a preservative found in some flu vaccines, during their meeting on June 26, 2025.
  • Kennedy dismissed the previous 17-member expert committee last week and named eight new advisors, many known for criticizing vaccines and pandemic responses.
  • The committee advises the CDC on vaccine policies, will review data on flu, RSV, and measles vaccines, and discuss recommendations including combination shots for children under five.
  • According to the FDA's website, research conducted for more than two decades has found no indication that thimerosal in vaccines causes harm, including serious neurodevelopmental issues.
  • The vote and discussions could influence immunization policy amid opposition from medical groups, as thimerosal use has declined due to single-dose packaging but remains in some adult flu vaccines.
