Alliance Urges ACIP to Update
Vaccine Recommendations
This month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) convened to review scientific data and consider vaccine recommendations.
As part of public comment, the Alliance delivered remarks to the group, urging updates to protect public health.
For more than 50 years, ACIP has helped shape the landscape for vaccine recommendations with the support of Medical professionals, scientists, researchers, and the public. This fact sheet breaks down ACIP, its members, and its role in guiding health policy.
Last year, we advanced our health education and public policy efforts supporting the dignity, independence, and equity of older Americans. We proudly present the Alliance for Aging Research’s 2024 Impact Report.

As World Immunization Week ends, the Champions for Vaccine Education, Equity and Progress (CVEEP) reminds us that COVID-19 remains a serious risk—especially for older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Immunity wanes, so a 2024–25 vaccine dose is recommended six months after your last.
With travel and gatherings ahead, remember: COVID-19 is a year-round threat. Visit cveep.org/stayprotected to learn more.
