The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is set to convene on June 25-26, 2025, at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. This meeting follows a recent announcement by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who initiated significant changes within the committee to rebuild public trust in vaccine science. The CDC has replaced all 17 existing ACIP members with eight new appointees.
The ACIP is composed of medical and public health experts who provide guidance to the CDC on vaccines' safety, effectiveness, and clinical necessity. The upcoming meeting will be accessible to the public through a live webcast, with details available on the ACIP website. Media representatives wishing to attend in person must request credentials via email and will receive access information by June 24.
The meeting schedule is as follows: Wednesday, June 25 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Thursday, June 26 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Both sessions will take place at the CDC's main office located at 1600 Clifton Road in Atlanta.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services emphasizes that whether diseases originate domestically or internationally, are treatable or preventable, acute or chronic, stemming from human activity or intentional actions, the CDC remains committed to protecting lives and ensuring national security through timely information dissemination and rapid disease response efforts.
