CHICAGO -- Physicians called on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to immediately reverse his decision to fire all 17 sitting members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and called for a Senate investigation into his actions.

Less than 24 hours after Kennedy announced that HHSopens in a new tab or window had removed all of CDC's vaccine advisors, American Medical Association (AMA) delegates passed an emergency resolution urging Kennedy to reverse this move during their annual meetingopens in a new tab or window. Delegates also directed AMA leadership to send a letter to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee requesting an investigation into the firings.

The resolution also called for the AMA to "initiate sustained public advocacy" in support of the current ACIP structure, including its liaison representatives, and to "identify and evaluate alternative evidence-based vaccine advisory structures and invest resources in such initiatives, as necessary."
