Controversy Surrounds Vaccine Advisers Skipping Topics

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the U.S. Health Secretary now. He has new people on a vaccine group that will meet soon. They might not talk about some things like COVID-19 shots.

This group gives advice on vaccines for the country. They make a plan for children and adults. Kennedy chose new people for the group, including some who do not like vaccines.

The group will talk about flu and RSV vaccines. They will also talk about thimerosal in flu shots. Thimerosal is something that some anti-vaccine people do not like.

It is not known who made the list of things to talk about. Some vaccine ideas are missing from the list. One doctor said the group is talking about things that are already known.

The group's advice usually goes to the Centers for Disease Control. Now, the advice goes to Kennedy. Thimerosal used to be in some vaccines, but not anymore for young children.
