U.S. CDC Debates Several Vaccines

The U.S. CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is scheduled to conduct an in-person and digital meeting beginning on June 21, 2023.

This three-day ACIP meeting will debate and vote on various vaccine recommendations, such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccines for older adults.

Please see the agenda for the time and day.

Anyone can attend the digital meeting for free to listen and learn how the U.S. government makes vaccine recommendations.

The ACIP comprises medical and public health experts who develop recommendations on the use of vaccines in the civilian population of the U.S. The recommendations are public health guidance for safe use of vaccines and related biological products.

The Committee's recommendations are forwarded to CDC's Director for approval. Once approved, they are published in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

And ACIP's recommendations result in the official U.S. adult and childhood immunization schedules.
