Appeals Court Weighs DOJ Bid to Reinstate Kennedy's Vaccine Panel Picks

The Trump administration argued before the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that a district court judge lacked authority to block Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointees from serving on a key federal vaccine advisory panel. Justice Department attorney Matthew Zorn contended the lower court erred in its ruling. The appeals panel has not yet issued a decision on whether the injunction blocking the appointments will stand. The case centers on control over vaccine policy recommendations that influence immunization schedules nationally.
