The assessment could lead to the childhood vaccine schedule being altered.

An advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will take a look at the current childhood vaccine program, including if a frequently used adjuvant is benign, according to The Epoch Times.

A vaccine advisory panel picked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to take a look at the childhood vaccine schedule, according to a newly released document.

A workgroup of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a panel picked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, which counsels the CDC, will scrutinize the safety of aluminum and other ingredients included in several diverse vaccines, according to a document, which was dated Oct. 8.

“For example, do either of the two different aluminum adjuvants increase the risk of asthma?” the document states.

According to The Times, aluminum salts are part of at least some vaccines against polio, Hepatitis A, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, pneumococcal disease, meningococcal disease, haemophilus influenzae type b bacterium, human papillomavirus virus and hepatitis B. They have served as adjuvants, or substances used to boost the immune response in recipients, since the 1930s.

But a 2022 study from researchers with the CDC and other institutes found a link between receipt of vaccines with aluminum and asthma in young children.

“CDC is not changing vaccine recommendations based on this single study, but further investigation is needed into this potential safety signal,” the agency states on its website. It also says that “following the recommended vaccine schedule provides children and teens with the best protection from potentially serious diseases.”

After the paper was published, Kennedy said that the study “hints at one of the catastrophic side effects of childhood jabs—the asthma epidemic.”

In addition, the ACIP workgroup will also examine the timing and order of different vaccines, including whether certain vaccines should be dispensed on the same day or spaced out, and the usefulness and wellbeing of vaccine schedules used in different countries, including Denmark, the document says.

ACIP intends to study information from published and unpublished research and safety surveillance systems. It may request data from entities inside and outside the government.
