Excerpt:

An influential Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) committee has announced new recommendations for the combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine.

The members of the committee, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), was recently changed under the leadership of Department of Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. All 17 previous members were removed and then replaced with a new group, which includes several prominent anti-vaccine advocates.

The ACIP is meeting Thursday and Friday (Sept. 18 and 19) to discuss the COVID-19 vaccines; the hepatitis B vaccine; and the MMRV vaccine. They will also discuss recommendations regarding respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which has a vaccine available to adults and an antibody treatment available to kids.
