Statement from the American Nurses Association on the Department of Health and Human Services' Restructuring of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices
ANA Urges Inclusion of Nurses and Healthcare Experts on ACIP to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines and Reinforce Evidence-Based Policy SILVER SPRING, Md., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Nurses Association (ANA) is concerned by the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) recent action to restructure the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). While the intent may be to restore integrity and public trust in vaccine science, this sweeping action risks achieving the opposite. ANA acknowledges that the previous Administration took unprecedented action that prevented this Administration from selecting ACIP representatives through the normal application and nomination process. While we understand the impetus to establish leadership in the process, we are concerned that the complete removal of all ACIP members could further erode public confidence in both the process and vaccines themselves. Restoring trust in vaccines is critical to safeguard public health, ensuring all children reach adulthood, and enabling all Americans to live healthy, productive lives. Vaccines are foundational to public health. They protect individuals, families, and communities from preventable disease, and they remain a cornerstone of our national and global response to emerging health threats. The public must trust not only the science behind vaccines, but the processes by which decisions are made about their use. That trust is built through transparency, consistency, and representation of frontline perspectives. ANA urges HHS to ensure the nursing perspective is meaningfully represented as new ACIP members are selected. Nurses play a vital role in immunization efforts: they educate patients, advocate for accessible vaccination practices, and uphold immunization recommendations. Nurses are often the first line of defense against vaccine-preventable diseases and bring essential, evidence-based insight to any conversation on public health. As the most trusted profession in the United States, nurses understand their ethical obligation to advance evidence-based approaches and to provide the best available information for patients and the public. Their expertise, clinical experience, and leadership in both community and acute care settings make them indispensable voices in national vaccine policy discussions. ANA stands ready to support HHS in identifying qualified nurses to serve on ACIP and contribute to restoring public trust in immunization practices. ANA remains committed to engaging in this important dialogue and supporting efforts that center public health, science, and evidence-based practice. We look forward to continuing collaboration with HHS to ensure nurses—and the patients they serve—are represented in critical public health decisions. About the American Nurses Association As the oldest organization representing more than 5 million registered nurses, the American Nurses Association stands at the forefront of advancing nursing excellence. The association harnesses The Power of Nurses™ to champion the profession and drive transformation in healthcare. Through legislative and political advocacy, comprehensive educational services, and the profession's leading Code of Ethics and Scope and Standards, the association empowers nurses across every specialty and practice setting. The association is committed to ensuring healthy work environments, shaping pioneering policies, and cultivating partnerships that enhance both the nursing profession and the broader healthcare experience.

Medical Focus: National EMS Week
ANDRESON, Mo. — This week has been National EMS Week – a chance to recognize the challenge of responding to any and all medical emergencies 24-7. 'Nobody ever really plans to need an ambulance that day, for the most part. And you know, there's a lot of situations that arise,' said Mike Ross, Freeman Ambulance Svc. Dir. For Mike Ross and his 40 plus years of experience, that's most often chest pains. 'I mean, we're able to do a 12-lead EKG on a patient to see if there is an acute mmediate need, you know, for the cath lab. And then in that instance, we coordinate with the cath lab to let them know that we're coming. We actually send them a copy of the 12-lead EKG so that the cardiologist can look and see what they're dealing with, and activate the cath lab if needed.' The response area for the Freeman Ambulance Service covers every corner of McDonald County – and comes with a unique set of challenges. Medical Focus: National EMS Week Mobile MU hospital simulation stops in Joplin to provide specialized training Freeman Health System celebrates National Nurses Week dedication Healthcare workers advocate mental health awareness in May Freeman Safe Sitter program trains middle schoolers in CPR and first aid skills 'We have no hospital, actually, in McDonald County, but we have a lot of resources around the county in Northwest Arkansas, Joplin, that type of thing. So transport times are long. Turnaround time from leaving the station to getting back to the station on a call that is out in the county that may go to Joplin would be two and a half hours.' Ross adds that while working in Emergency Medical Service is a job – that EMS team feels a lot more like family. 'I mean, you spend almost more time with people at work than you do with your own family. And I mean, we're here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime, early morning, all times of the day. So there really and truly has to be a trust built and a camaraderie built for that type of thing.' And at the end of the day – it's all about a quick response and saving lives.

Mobile MU hospital simulation stops in Joplin to provide specialized training
JOPIN, Mo. — Staff at a local hospital is getting a high-tech chance to train for a range of deadly diagnoses – before a patient's life is at stake. 'An amazing opportunity that MU brought to us free of charge to train our employees on maybe some scenarios that they don't always get to see, and give them the opportunity to do it in a simulation lab work with their teammates, their coworkers, and really address some maybe patient issues in a safe environment,' said Ashley Jones, Freeman Prof. Dev. Dir. It's a mobile training lab from the MU School of Medicine. Grant funding gives them the chance to travel the state, offering very specialized training. 'So one of the ones they're doing is a gunshot wound. So they can put in blood pressures and all of the vitals in there, and then the team can come together and assess, how are you going to treat, troubleshoot, and really look at all those components in almost looks like a real world environment,' said Jones. Through scenarios ranging from a sedation overdose to postpartum the simulated patient can be an adult or a baby. 'The infant is kind of the one thing that everyone's been interesting because we don't see it all the time. It is so lifelike that it is it's very odd to see that, you know, this machine, but yeah, it looks like a baby is crying, and you can see it heart beating, and those kinds of things.' Small groups work with the simulations – most often Freeman nurses. 'Some respiratory therapists came. Also some of the physicians have come, which is great, because they can come in and they're working side by side with these nurses and respiratory therapists, and they need to all know what everyone's doing,' said Hibes, It's an opportunity to experience potentially life threatening situations – and find a better path forward before a patient's life is on the line.
