A look at the new COVID vaccine guidelines and what happened at ACIP

Wondering whether you’re eligible to get a COVID vaccine this fall and whether your insurance will pay for it? You’re not alone. The typically orderly process of setting annual public health guidelines for vaccines has been anything but this year. Competing recommendations came from leading medical organizations, the federal government, and states individually and in collaboration. It put unusual focus on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)’s recommendations. ACIP is the vaccine advisory group to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Yale School of Public Health Associate Professor Dr. Jason L. Schwartz, PhD, an authority on U.S. vaccine policy, has been following events closely. He recently spoke to Colin Poitras about this year’s recommendations for the COVID shot as well as new developments regarding the measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) and Hepatitis B vaccines for infants and children.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
