Senator Bill Cassidy, chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, called for a postponement of a committee meeting regarding vaccine recommendations, citing turmoil within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Cassidy issued his request in an August 28, 2025, statement.
Cassidy stated, “these decisions directly impact children’s health and the meeting should not occur until significant oversight has been conducted. If the meeting proceeds, any recommendations made should be rejected as lacking legitimacy given the seriousness of the allegations and the current turmoil in CDC leadership.”
