Kennedy's US vaccine panel breaks norms, plans to review immunization schedule
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s newly reconstituted vaccine advisory panel said during its first meeting on Wednesday that it would study the schedule of childhood and adolescent immunizations and review the use of older vaccines.
The advisory panel has already strayed from norms and procedures designed to ensure scientific rigor and consensus, vaccine advisers and former government employees told Reuters, and one prominent medical group has boycotted the meeting, which is unfolding under intense scrutiny.
