FROM A MEETING OF THE CDC'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON IMMUNIZATION PRACTICES
Dr. Loehr noted that although the ACIP’s charter lists cost effectiveness as just one of several considerations for making vaccine recommendations, it was the main subject of discussion and questions from committee members surrounding the HPV recommendation for males. “It really does get people hung up.”
Dr. Brady and Dr. Loehr both stated that they have no financial disclosures. As a CDC employee, Dr. Markowitz has no conflicts of interest.
