ACIP set to return in March after weeks of turmoil

The sudden cancellation of this week’s meeting triggered speculation about what ACIP is preparing to change. The March session will clarify what comes next.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is now scheduled to meet March 18–19, according to an updated listing on the CDC website, following this month’s abrupt cancellation.

The February 25–27 meeting fell through when the required Federal Register notice was not published in time — an unusual lapse that quickly set off speculation in Washington and across public health circles.
