ACIP Shot Down: The Fall of the Vaccine Advisory Panel
Update: 2025-06-19
Description
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. abruptly fired the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the group that sets vaccine recommendations in the U.S. He has selected new members, several of whom are known for vaccine skepticism or have limited immunization expertise. This significant change in the advisory panel represents a major shift in U.S. vaccine policymaking. In this episode, we analyze who these new members are, their backgrounds and views, and what this shake-up could mean for public trust, vaccine guidance, and family health.
