"A federal judge found that the members had not gone through the necessary process to join the committee, putting on hold their membership and all decisions made in the past year."
"Robert Malone, the former co-chair of ACIP, stated that the committee had been disbanded and that the US government plans to recreate a new ACIP committee."
"Confusion about the future of the committee still abounds, even among its former members, with conflicting statements regarding the next steps."
The ACIP's status is unclear following a federal judge's ruling that invalidated recent decisions and membership. The judge found that 13 members had not followed proper procedures to join. Consequently, all decisions made in the past year are on hold, including changes to the childhood immunization schedule. Conflicting statements from former members and officials have added to the confusion. While some suggest the committee will be recreated, others indicate no final decision has been made regarding its future.
