The ACIP Vaccine Advisory Panel meeting has been postponed and will not take place as originally planned for next week.[1] The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed the cancellation of the meeting after missing a legal deadline to notify the public.[1] HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon did not give a reason for the delay and promised more information.[1] The planned session was to be watched closely for possible changes in vaccination policy.[1] The American Academy of Pediatrics has asked a federal judge to delay the meeting in a lawsuit challenging Kennedy's vaccination policy changes, but Judge Brian E. Murphy has yet to rule.[1] CDC staff, including Greg Thorn and Dayla Kern, informed staff that NCIRD no longer "owned" ACIP and the meeting was unlikely to take place due to the lack of notification in the Federal Register.[1] ACIP was transformed by Kennedy last year when he fired all the original members and appointed new ones with vaccine-skeptic views.[1]
