Day #2 - US CDC Vaccine Committee Meeting

Following yesterday's information session, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will meet today to discuss the final agenda items.

On April 16, 2025, H. Keipp Talbot, MD, MPH (ACIP Chair), Professor of Medicine, Vanderbilt University, will lead discussions on chikungunya, meningococcal, and RSV vaccines. These presentations are available at this link.

The voting members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory committee will consider various votes on Meningococcal, RSV, and Chikungunya vaccines. All vote language is subject to change.

ACIP includes up to 19 voting members responsible for making vaccine recommendations. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary selects these members.

Traditionally, the CDC's Director considers ACIP recommendations before making final determinations. However, the CDC's Chief of Staff, Matthew Buzzelli, will fill this role.

Upon today's conclusion, ACIP meeting minutes are posted on the CDC website within 90–120 days of the meeting date. The agenda and presentations for the October 23-24, 2024, ACIP meeting are available at this link.
