A decisive government committee of vaccination consultants will be his first meeting on Wednesday on Wednesday since the secretary for health and human service, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
At the beginning of this month, Kennedy removed all members of the Advisory Board Committee on immunization practices or ACIP in a breathtaking step, which advises the centers for the control and prevention of diseases. The group checks vaccine data and gives recommendations that determine who is entitled to record recordings and whether the insurers should cover them, among other things.
It is unclear how Kennedy's new members will influence the vaccine directive and availability in the USA in view of their skepticism compared to vaccinations
During a full-day meeting on Wednesday in Atlanta, the committee will evaluate data on COVID-19-vaccines and RSV shots, with a vote on recommendations for the latter. The group will be called again on Thursday to check data for shots for the flu and other diseases.

ACIP members are independent medical and public experts who are based on recommendations based on strict scientific reviews and evidence. But Kennedy's eight new members count some well -known vaccine critics like Dr. Robert Malone.
Malone himself calculates a key role in the creation of mRNA vaccines, but has gained a large followers for unfounded and refused claims on COVID-19 shots.
Another new member, Retsef Levi, has pushed to not give the mRNA vaccines anymore, and incorrectly claimed in a post on X that they caused “serious damage including death, especially in young people”.
The meeting on Wednesday begins at 10 a.m.
