CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)

The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is a group of experts that reviews scientific evidence on vaccines and recommends which ones should be given to different groups of people in the U.S. Their goal is to ensure vaccines are safe, effective, and used appropriately to protect public health. ACIP’s recommendations influence vaccination policies nationwide and help healthcare providers make informed decisions about immunizations. The committee meets regularly to evaluate new data, update guidelines, and improve vaccination strategies, ultimately aiming to prevent disease and save lives.
