A scheduled meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine policy, has been postponed. The meeting was originally set to take place in Atlanta from Feb. 26 to 28, marking the first gathering since the appointment of the new Health and Human Services secretary.
The decision to postpone the meeting was confirmed by the HHS director of communications, Andrew Nixon. The ACIP meetings website also reflected the change, although a new meeting date has not been announced at this time. Typically, the ACIP convenes three times a year, in February, June, and October.
