US EditionRFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel to review shots for children
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUN 25 – The new CDC vaccine advisory panel, appointed by HHS Secretary RFK Jr., includes several vaccine skeptics and will review childhood immunization schedules amid concerns over public trust.
- On Wednesday in Atlanta, the seven-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices held its inaugural session following the complete overhaul of its 17-member roster by the U.S. Department of Health, which appointed a new panel that includes individuals skeptical of vaccines.
- Kennedy dismissed the prior panel, citing concerns about vaccine schedules, and appointed new members who critics including Senator Bill Cassidy say lack relevant expertise and hold anti-vaccine biases.
- The new committee revealed intentions to examine the overall impact of the immunization schedule for children, including reviewing the administration of vaccines like hepatitis B for newborns and the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox vaccine.
- A vote on thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative with no proven autism link, is scheduled for Thursday, while RSV vaccine recommendations were postponed amid debate and concerns over real-world data reliability.
- Pediatricians and states like Illinois criticized the changes, announcing independent vaccine schedules and exploring regional programs due to eroding trust in federal vaccine guidance under Kennedy’s advisory panel.
