Never in history have we ever heard credible testimony before Congress this shocking against a President of the United States.


#ACIP votes unanimously to recommend Covid-19 vaccines for children 6 months - 5 years. This includes #Pfizer and #Moderna vaccines which should be available next week.


It’s unanimous. 14-0 to recommend COVID vaccine to age 5-11 yr olds.

#ACIP vote on use of #PCV13 in healthy adults over 65. Instead of a universal recommendation, this vaccine is recommended based on shared clinical decision making. The vote is 13-1.


#ACIP is voting on whether to continue PCV13 on healthy adults over 65. Data is conflicted on benefits.

#acip votes to reduce the number of hpv vaccines. 2 doses for 9-14 yr olds 6-12 months apart. Less shots for teens!

Amazing decision today by ACIP. Data confirms minimal efficacy for 3rd year in a row. LAIV is not recommended.

#acip. Huge change to flu recommendation! Live nasal flu vax no longer to be used bc no longer effective against flu!
