The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory committee postponed its meeting this week, drawing concern from at least one independent health organization.

The CDC issued a statement on Feb. 21 explaining: “The ACIP meeting will be postponed to accommodate public comment in advance of the meeting. The ACIP workgroups met as scheduled this month and will present at the upcoming ACIP meeting.”
