New Educational Video on How Vaccine Recommendations Are Made
The authorization of COVID-19 vaccines in the United States heightened awareness of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which develops clinical recommendations on the use of vaccines in the U.S. Longstanding misconceptions and misunderstandings around vaccines and their safety and efficacy continue to impact vaccine confidence and vaccination rates nationally. 

To support communities and individuals in better understanding vaccines and the recommendations behind them, the Public Health Foundation (PHF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed an educational video, Understanding the ACIP and How Vaccine Recommendations are Made in the US. This short video sheds light on the process, science, and safety behind vaccine recommendations, equipping healthcare and public health professionals with information to help them confidently incorporate ACIP recommendations as standards of care in their practice.
