A key federal vaccine advisory panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), has postponed its scheduled meeting after a federal judge halted what scientists believe are dangerous changes to U.S. immunization policy by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The court effectively sidelined the reconstituted panel and halted actions taken under it. The American Academy of Pediatrics called the ruling "historic" and a "welcome outcome".
