S.Amdt. 4648

SA 4648. Ms. ALSOBROOKS submitted an amendment intended to be
proposed by her to the bill S. 1383, to establish the Veterans Advisory
Committee on Equal Access, and for other purposes; which was ordered to
lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING VACCINES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that, on March 16, 2025, a
District Court--
(1) held, with respect to actions undertaken by Secretary
of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., that the
``reconstitution of the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) and the January 2026 changes to the
childhood immunization schedule violate the Administrative
Procedure Act'';
(2) stayed guidance issued by the Department of Health and
Human Services revising the childhood immunization schedule
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pursuant to
section 705 of title 5 United States Code;
(3) stayed the appointments of the 13 members of the
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices appointed on
June 11, 2025, September 11, 2025, and January 13, 2026; and
(4) stayed all votes taken by the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices while such committee included the
members so appointed.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) vaccines are safe, effective, and save lives; and
(2) as the District Court found in American Academy of
Pediatrics v. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Department of
Health and Human Services disregarded procedural requirements
``and thereby undermined the integrity of its actions'' in
upending the childhood vaccine schedule.
