The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is currently holding its regular June meeting. Votes were scheduled on COVID, Vaxelis, RSV, PCV21, and influenza. Spoiler: All sailed through unanimously.
The CDC’s Demetre Daskalakis gave an agency update on Thursday morning, declaring, “Vaccines work, even when they don’t,” when explaining that people who got the mpox vaccine and still got mpox had a milder infection.
