This clip from a 2018 ACIP meeting illustrates exactly why ACIP reform is necessary.

"Is there any comment on using this vaccine at the same time with other adjuvanted vaccines?"

"We have no data to make a recommendation one way or the other."

"Just to sort of put this in context of other vaccines, while preclinical studies were not done using these vaccines simultaneously, our general approach to immunizations is that they should be given... they can be given at the same time in different limbs."

"Are adjuvanted, multiple-adjuvanted vaccines used in Europe or other markets?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"Okay. I think unless there's any further discussion, we will take a vote on this recommendation."

"I want to remind everyone to please check your voting whatever machine thing... I don't know what it is. Voting is open."

"Thank you very much. So the voting is completed, and it is unanimous to support this recommendation. Thank you all."

"Does anybody have any comments they wish to make about their vote?"

"So just a slight reservation. I think this is a huge advance and a step forward. I am concerned about that signal, that myocardial infarction signal. I am concerned about the use of this new adjuvant and certainly urge us to continue to look at the postmarketing data carefully. Thank you."

"Just a question about that. How soon would we be getting that postmarketing data update here?"

"There's two kinds of data. The Vaccine Safety Datalink data will require people to be using the vaccine to develop a substantive database. And, Doctor…do you want to comment on the postmarketing data that FDA is requiring?"

"I think for the myocardial infarction study, we’re seeing that the data for likely completion is May 20th, May 31st, 2020. There will also be studies looking at autoimmune diseases as well as herpes zoster. And there will be a pregnancy registry as well. So that’s all included in the postmarketing surveillance."

"Thank you."
