With RFK Jr. in Charge, Insurers Aren't Saying If They'll Cover Vaccines for Kids If Government Stops Recommending Them
Briefly

Recent changes to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices include the replacement of all 17 members by RFK Jr. with eight new appointees. Among them are controversial figures such as Retsef Levi, who has called mRNA vaccines deadly, and Robert Malone, who shares unfounded concerns about vaccine links to cancer. Following these changes, Michael A. Ross resigned due to financial review issues. The ACIP's first meeting of the year focused on reviewing the immunization schedule for children and teens, prompted by discussions about the higher number of vaccines given compared to other developed nations.
The committee made news again on June 25 when... it announced it would form a working group to review the recommended immunization schedule for children and teens.
We are committed to ongoing coverage of vaccines to ensure access and affordability for this respiratory virus season.
The number of vaccines that our children and adolescents receive today exceed what children in most other developed nations receive, and what most of us in this room received when we [were] children.
Michael A. Ross... resigned from ACIP during a review of his financial holdings.
