She stated the AMA urges the CDC to “reject this suggestion and uphold its dedication to science and public well being.”
Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, the director of the American Public Well being Affiliation, stated ACIP’s resolution “will increase the danger of an infection for infants” and “will go away youngsters weak to pointless publicity and preventable sickness.”
