27 分钟Good morning.
I'm pleased to call today's ACIP meeting to order.
I wish you all welcome.
This was the beginning of a pivotal meeting in Atlanta last week.
Seven people gathered inside a conference room in a CDC building to make decisions that could impact everyone in the country.
Secretary Kennedy has given this committee a clear mandate to use evidence-based medicine.
We're making vaccine recommendations, and that is what we will do.
They were members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Every year, they gather to discuss everything about vaccines,
including who should get them and when.
The group then sends its recommendations to the CDC,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This year, two of the post's veteran health reporters were inside of the room.
So, it's Lauren Weber.
And Lena Sun from the Washington Post.
And we're coming to you live from CDC's campus.
On the beautiful campus in Atlanta, Georgia.
It's pretty hot here though.
We are covering the meeting of the newly appointed CDC vaccine advisory panel.
Normally, this is a pretty dull affair.
