Despite concerns that the administration might meddle with a committee of vaccine advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, their first public meeting since President Trump's inauguration followed its usual course.

Members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to expand the options for meningococcal vaccines and to lower the age of recommendation for RSV vaccines to include people aged 50 to 59 with certain risk factors. They also voted to recommend vaccines for the tropical disease chikungunya for travelers or lab workers who are likely to be exposed to the virus.

Policy-ish

After delays, first vaccine advisory meeting under RFK Jr. is underway

These recommendations go to the CDC director, who usually heeds them but ultimately determines whether or not they become policy.

Committee members also previewed topics such as flu and COVID vaccines that will be considered more formally in the next public meeting, scheduled for June.

A rescheduled meeting raises concerns

Over two days, members sat through detailed presentations on data and modeling for a range of vaccines – from mpox to flu, COVID and chikungunya – and asked questions to sharpen their assessments of the risks and benefits of different vaccines. The meeting got weedy at times, as the presenters and committee members dug into technical details, which is typical.

The committee had been scheduled to meet in February, but the event was postponed shortly after the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees CDC. The postponement heightened concerns about possible interference.

"I am encouraged that the proceedings of ACIP have resumed, giving the American public a window into the future of our nation's vaccine policy in a time of great uncertainty," Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, a Democrat from Delaware, said in an emailed statement. "As America faces measles outbreaks and a changing political landscape, the public deserves transparency."
