HHS has withdrawn an April 6 renewal of the CDC’s ACIP charter, saying the notice was issued with an administrative error and did not meet federal timing requirements.

HHS has withdrawn an April 6 renewal of the charter for the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, saying the earlier notice was issued with an administrative error and did not satisfy federal timing requirements.

Reuters first reported the withdrawal on Monday, and Bloomberg Law later reported the same move. The April notice had renewed the panel through April 1, 2028.

ACIP advises the CDC on vaccine use, and the charter governs how the committee operates. The April renewal also affected membership rules and the panel’s direction, according to Reuters’ reporting.

The withdrawal raises questions about whether HHS will issue a corrected charter renewal and what, if any, effect the change could have on ACIP’s work going forward. Those details were not immediately clear in the reporting reviewed for this story.
