Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is a group of experts in the United States that makes recommendations about vaccines. They help ensure vaccines are safe and effective and advise on who should receive them and when. ACIP's recommendations are crucial for public health and guide vaccination policies for diseases like flu, measles, and COVID-19. Their work helps to prevent outbreaks and protect communities by promoting vaccination as a key measure for public health. The committee operates under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
