Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the COVID-19 vaccine has been removed from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. He and other public figures touted this decision, claiming it reflects common sense and good science. However, this move is seen as unprecedented, as it bypasses the CDC's established, evidence-based process for vaccination recommendations set by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which has not recommended such changes. The next ACIP meeting will address COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.
Kennedy's move, like the FDA's last week, is unprecedented in bypassing the transparent, evidence-based process for setting vaccination recommendations.
ACIP meets periodically in all-day meetings to publicly review detailed data on vaccine safety and effectiveness, and discuss recommendations.
