Kennedy adds two OB-GYNs to vaccine advisory panel amid review of shots for pregnant women
WASHINGTON — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed two new members to the main federal vaccine advisory board, his latest change to a group that has made a series of controversial recommendations and upended the usual processes for vaccine policy.
Both new members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are OB-GYNs who have at times been critical of mainstream vaccine science. An ACIP working group is reviewing the vaccines recommended for women during pregnancy.
