Protecting Vaccine Experts: Ensuring Independence of the ACIP Advisory Committee.

This bill aims to strengthen the independence and stability of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the expert body setting US vaccine recommendations. Members can only be removed for specific, serious reasons like neglect of duty, shielding them from political pressure. This ensures that public health advice, including vaccination schedules, remains consistently based on scientific evidence.
Key points
Members of the ACIP can only be terminated for "cause" (e.g., inefficiency or neglect of duty), enhancing the committee's independence.
Requires the immediate reinstatement of members who were serving as of June 8, 2025, allowing them to complete their original terms.
Any termination must be publicly justified and reported to Congress within one day, increasing transparency in public health decisions.
