The AAP, AMA, and six other major medical groups will no longer advise the CDC on vaccine policy, Bloomberg reports. The CDC’s ACIP committee determines vaccine recommendations, coverage, and mandates. Members were told via email they’re being removed from workgroups due to “special interest” bias concerns, though they can still attend public meetings. This change impacts how data is reviewed and policies are formed.
