Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Jan. 13 added to the panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about a week after officials bypassed the panel and made significant changes to the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule.

Kennedy appointed Dr. Kimberly Biss, who is based in Florida, and Dr. Adam Urato, who is based in Massachusetts, to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
