The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) has withdrawn from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) due to concerns over compromised scientific integrity and evidence-based policy in vaccine recommendations. President Dr. Steven J. Fleischman highlighted issues such as the committee's recent reconstitution and the controversial changes to vaccine policies that undermined rigorous scientific review. ACOG remains committed to providing evidence-based guidance for immunizations in pregnant patients while ensuring recommendations stem from robust scientific data.
