FDA vaccine committee is meeting as we speak to select viral strains for fall flu shots. Everyone is a respected scientist. There are evidence-based presentations. We're an hour ahead of schedule. It's all so...normal. Quite the change of pace.

Correction: I took down a post about Thursday's #VRBPAC meeting because it contained an error.
#FDA has named 6 temporary voting members (not 2), which will bring the number for the meeting to 9. The temps are all former members.
Topic: 2026-27 #flu vax composition.

The #VRBPAC committee is scheduled to meet Thursday to advise #FDA on #flu vaccine strain selection for next winter's shots. VRBPAC is supposed to have at least 15 members. It currently has 7 voting members & no chair. It has been convened only twice since Jan. 2025. www.fda.gov/advisory-com...

Today's #VRBPAC meeting on #Covid vaccines was a little unusual. The only vote was a no-brainer. On the more challenging question — should the vaccine strain be updated — they were of mixed minds, with some worrying an update might trigger new testing requirements. www.statnews.com/2025/05/22/f...

"This administration does not value the need for scientific analysis to make the best and most appropriate decisions for public health issues." -- Tina Tan, MD, of @idsainfo.bsky.social, discussing FDA's decision to bypass #VRBPAC for the fall #fluvaccine strain.

RFK Jr is ignoring his promises and is hurting #flu #vaccine development in the USA by canceling the #VRBPAC meeting which decides on which strains to include in the seasonal vaccine. Make America Sick Again.
"He now plans to repopulate the #ACIP with people he doesn't think are 'conflicted' and #VRBPAC has been indefinitely canceled." -- Robert Schooley, MD, of @ucsandiego.bsky.social, discussing RFK Jr. and the abrupt cancellation of a critical flu shot meeting.

U.S. FDA cancels vaccine advisory committee meeting. The irony of this: Canceling #VRBPAC makes the U.S. more reliant on the WHO-led strain selection process, by @lizzylawrence.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/02/26/f... via @statnews.com @helenbranswell.bsky.social #influenza
On @pbsnews.org tonight, @pauloffit.bsky.social explains why everyone should be terrified over Trump/RFK Jr canceling #FDA #VRBPAC flu vaccines meeting - of which I covered so, so many.

@HHSGov has canceled the March meeting of outside experts who were to advise @US_FDA on what next winter's #flu shots should target. The irony of this: Canceling #VRBPAC makes the US more reliant on the
@WHO -led strain selection process.

#VRBPAC votes unanimously to advise #FDA that this fall's #Covid shot should contain a JN.1-lineage virus. Committee was not asked to commit to a specific JN.1.
If there'd been a precise vote for KP.2 or KP.3, that might have precluded Novavax from this fall's campaign. This is good news for them.
