Today’s meeting of the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines as part of an unprecedented effort to limit access to routine childhood immunizations and sow fear and mistrust in vaccines.

Until we can again trust the recommendations made by our federal government, AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations.
