CDC respiratory virus official resigns as former ACIP members warn of immunization progress rollback
A Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientist who leads the team that tracks respiratory virus hospitalizations abruptly resigned yesterday, based on concerns that the data won ’ t be used objectively or with scientific rigor following recent changes to the CDC ’ s vaccine advisory group.
