WASHINGTON \u2014 Federal health officials announced the appointment of five new members to a panel of vaccine advisers handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday, just days ahead of the group\u2019s next meeting<\/a>. They include an infectious disease expert who has pushed back on Covid-19 mandates and another who advocated for alternative, unproven treatments for Covid, including ivermectin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

STAT previously reported<\/a> that the appointees were under consideration. Now, with their appointments, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is up to 12 members, a few short of the panel Kennedy dismissed in June, saying the move was necessary to restore trust in vaccines<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
