Robert F. Kennedy Jr. added two gynecologist-obstetricians to the vaccination advisory panel. The move was made in connection with a review of vaccination injections recommended for pregnant women. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is reviewing these injections. At the same time, Kennedy repeals the federal vaccination policy. These changes are related to the revision of recommendations for vaccination during pregnancy.
