Thank you for sharing! The APHA is an incredible partner and has been engaged in vaccine policy for more than a century. Organizations like APHA are essential because no single group can represent the full spectrum of public health and clinical perspectives. In fact, part of the reason ACIP was created was to bring together public health organizations alongside medical societies like the AAP, was the recognition that each serves different patient and provider populations. Comprehensive vaccine recommendations require that diversity of expertise and perspective.
