March 20 (Reuters) – A panel of immunization experts that advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will convene in April after a previous meeting was postponed, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services said in an email on Thursday.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been set to meet in February, but the meeting was postponed a week after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as secretary of Health and Human Services.
HHS said the meeting was delayed to accommodate public comment. The agency’s email said ACIP workgroups have continued to meet and will present at the rescheduled April 15-16 meeting.
