The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has postponed its upcoming meeting, originally scheduled for October 22-23. Officials have not announced a new date for the gathering. This development coincides with the release of new research from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which highlights the continued effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing severe outcomes such as hospitalizations and deaths.
The VA study underscores the protective benefits of COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly in reducing serious health risks associated with the virus. The findings arrive at a time when public health officials continue to monitor vaccine efficacy amid evolving variants and shifting pandemic dynamics. No further details regarding the reasons behind ACIP’s postponement or its potential rescheduling have been provided at this time.
