US CDC vaccine advisory meeting to be postponed, Stat News reports
Feb 20 (Reuters) - A panel of experts advising the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines will not convene for its February meeting, Stat News reported on Thursday citing a senior federal official.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was set to meet beginning February 26 and provide recommendations regarding several vaccines, including GSK's GSK.L meningococcal vaccine and AstraZeneca's AZN.L flu shot.
That meeting will not happen, Stat News reported citing the U.S Department of Health and Human Services' director of communications.
The move comes a week after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as the Secretary of HHS despite being an avowed vaccine skeptic and critic of the CDC and other agencies under his watch.
The HHS and CDC did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
