Poor Kennedy, he only had 4 external members whose terms were up in 2025. And the ACIP meeting was scheduled for June 24-27. Yikes, scientists and public health experts about to decide on vaccines? Can’t have THAT.

Didn’t even just let them decide this fall’s flu shots.
All they have to do is look at a recent editorial in Annals of Internal Medicine.The editor summaries all vaccine recommendations nicely.
I wonder if insurance companies will be smart enough to ignore ACIP and rely on Professional Societies
