A Statement by the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM) did not participate in the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting this week. We believe the independence and credibility of vaccine policy must be protected for the health of all young people. This decision was in alignment with other youth health serving organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
We released a public statement on June 13 addressing these concerns and affirming our commitment to science-based vaccine policy for adolescents and young adults. The statement can be found here.
SAHM remains committed to supporting transparent, independent, and evidence-based immunization policy to protect the health of our patients and the public.
