The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee meeting on Immunization Practices has been postponed.

In a recent development, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting has been delayed, according to a Department of Health and Human Services official speaking to Reuters on Monday.
The meeting was originally scheduled for this week but faced postponement amid ongoing policy tensions.
This comes in the wake of a federal judge's action to halt significant aspects of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempt to overhaul U.S. vaccine policy, notably his proposition to decrease the number of vaccines routinely advised for children.
