The committee, known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, will likely vote to shift eligibility requirements for immunizations against diseases including measles, hepatitis B and COVID-19.
Current ACIP recommendations advise health care providers to administer vaccines for MMR and varicella together.
ACIP is also slated to review hepatitis B vaccines, which the CDC currently recommends that all infants and most adults receive.
ACIP is expected to change its recommendations at the upcoming meeting, potentially delaying hepatitis B vaccines until age 4, KFF Health News reported.
“Now, if the child gets vaccinated at age four, most likely today, because of our success in preventing hepatitis B the child will be okay.
