Event Overview
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which provides recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, met September 18-19. ACIP issued new recommendations for several vaccines, most significantly the MMR — measles, mumps, rubella — and the Hepatitis-B vaccine. Earlier, ACIP issued new guidance on the Covid-19 vaccine, severely limiting eligibility.
The committee’s recommendations clashed with long-standing policy, and have caused concern in the medical community at large. Several states have announced they will not follow ACIP’s guidelines and instead develop their own protocols.
Speakers discuss their concerns about ACIP’s recommendations.
