The IAFP is deeply concerned by the removal of all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. This reckless decision undermines vaccine safety; delays access to lifesaving care and weakens trusted public health systems.

Thanks @HELPCmteDems @GOPHELP for advancing the #LornaBreenAct, which @aafp has long supported. This will address the mental health needs of our nation’s doctors and end the stigma medical professionals often face when seeking treatment and support. bit.ly/4aBlaM6
