US EditionRFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel to review shots for children
- A newly formed seven-member vaccine advisory panel, appointed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., held its inaugural meeting on Wednesday in Atlanta.
- Kennedy dismissed all 17 previous members weeks earlier and replaced them with several vaccine critics, prompting concerns about the new members' qualifications.
- The panel postponed a vote on recommending a newly approved antibody shot, plans to review child vaccine schedules including hepatitis B and measles shots, and will discuss flu shot recommendations.
- Committee chairman Martin Kulldorff announced plans to create a team tasked with examining the overall impact of the childhood immunization schedule, while noting that the discussed antibody reduced hospital visits for infants by 63% to 76%.
- Pediatricians were concerned by the panel’s reevaluation of long-established childhood vaccination practices, prompting the American Academy of Pediatrics to independently maintain its childhood immunization timetable outside the ACIP framework, citing a loss of trust in the committee.
