RFK Jr.’s New Panel Tackles Vaccine Ingredients, Kids’ Shots

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan for America’s vaccines is coming into focus, with his revamped immunization advisory panel set to discuss the use of measles shots in kids next week and vote on an ingredient that’s been wrongly linked to autism.

The draft agenda for next week’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting revisits old topics concerning vaccine safety, raising questions that many public health experts consider long settled. Any decisions could have sweeping implications for American public health, potentially upending how vaccines are manufactured, paid for, and distributed around the country.
