Disagreement Over Minnesota's New Vaccine Guidelines
Federal and state health departments are at odds over Minnesota's new vaccine guidelines.
Following the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) board vote, medical professionals must reassess their relationship with the federal government's health leadership.
On November 11, COVID-19 vaccine access guidelines shifted from being strongly recommended to encouraging personal decisions with guidance from a doctor or pediatrician.
- In August, the Department of Health and Human Services recommended that pregnant women and healthy children not get the vaccine, citing historical safety concerns for pregnant women.
- This statement was disputed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, as it is not based on science.
- The recommendation was removed in the September meeting.
The ACIP plays an important role in immunization recommendations.
