US health chief says Sen. Cassidy promised pick on vaccine panel
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he told U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy that he would allow Cassidy to pick a candidate for a key panel of vaccine advisers. Cassidy, a Republican, serves as chairman the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. "What I told Senator Cassidy is that I would allow him to put one of his candidates on, which we're going to do," Kennedy said on Thursday during an interview on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum," referring to the vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy on Wednesday named eight members to serve on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which advises the agency on who should get the shots after they are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, after gutting the panel last week.
