The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was scheduled to meet Oct. 21 to 23, but the agency says the meeting is off because of ongoing litigation. An appeals court heard arguments Oct. 6 over a ruling that paused the panel's appointments and hasn't decided yet. Ask your doctor or pharmacist which shots you need.
