SHEA, APIC Respond to Executive Order on Gold-Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations
[]
Science
The organizations said the order circumvents the expertise and review systems traditionally used in the United States to assess vaccine safety, effectiveness, and appropriate administration schedules.
The organizations warned that the executive order could increase vaccine hesitancy by suggesting that long-established recommendations are unsupported or improperly developed.
SHEA represents physicians and other healthcare professionals working in healthcare epidemiology, infection prevention, and antimicrobial stewardship.
Together, the organizations called for vaccine policy to remain grounded in transparent review, high-quality evidence, and careful consideration of disease risk.
