US vaccine advisory committee postpones meeting
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent vaccine advisory committee will not convene next week as anticipated, according to a spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services. “Further information will be shared as available,” the spokesperson confirmed, reports BritPanorama.
The postponement stems from new guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as disclosed by a source familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of the information. Committee members had not been informed about the change in plans as of Wednesday evening, said another source, also requesting anonymity.
This development comes amid ongoing discussions regarding vaccine policies and potential updates, reflecting the complex landscape surrounding public health decisions.
