ACIP

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is a group of experts in the United States that advises on the use of vaccines. Established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ACIP develops recommendations for the timing and dosage of vaccines for different age groups and population segments. Their guidelines help ensure that vaccines are safe and effective, promoting public health by preventing the spread of infectious diseases. The committee reviews scientific evidence and addresses issues like vaccine coverage and safety, ultimately shaping national vaccination policies.
