ACP is concerned about the FDA promoting information about child deaths due to the COVID-19 vaccine, since the claims of the deaths being caused by the vaccine are unsubstantiated.    With the ACIP meeting scheduled for this week ACP will be listening to make sure that the information the committee is discussing is accurate and evidence-based.

Join ACP President @jasongoldmanmd and @ABIMcert Board Chair Robert Roswell in celebrating our leadership and impact as internal medicine physicians on #InternalMedicineDay! Tell us why you are #IMProud to be an #IMPhysician.
