ACIP to Review Hepatitis B Vaccine Guidelines and Childhood Immunization Schedule Amid Controversy Over Chair’s COVID-19 Vaccine Claims

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is set to meet this week to discuss updates to the hepatitis B vaccine recommendations and the childhood immunization schedule. The meeting will be chaired by Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a physician and pastor who has recently made claims regarding COVID-19 vaccines, alleging they contain contaminants linked to cancer.

Dr. Milhoan’s statements about COVID-19 vaccines have drawn attention ahead of the ACIP meeting. Despite these remarks, the committee plans to focus on reviewing current vaccination guidelines, including potential changes to hepatitis B protocols and updates to the recommended immunization schedule for children. The discussions aim to address public health priorities related to vaccine-preventable diseases.
