Court voids RFK Jr.’s vaccine-advisory shake-up and halts ACIP actions
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s replacement of the vaccine advisory panel likely violated federal law, staying all ACIP votes and invalidating 13 new appointees, effectively blocking the panel from meeting. The January changes to the U.S. immunization schedule were also blocked as arbitrary and capricious. The ruling, a win for the AAP, could be appealed, and the decision resets vaccine policy to established processes under HHS guidance while delaying any sweeping shifts in recommendations.
