Tell RFK Jr’s Vaccine Panel: Keep COVID Vaccines Accessible

Pharmacies are already turning people away. Insurance companies are hesitating. And now RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel could make COVID shots even harder to get. 

We cannot allow politics and pseudo-science to slam the door on lifesaving vaccines. But right now, the CDC’s vaccine advisory process is under siege. 

A COVID working group tied to RFK Jr. is weighing whether to restrict access—ignoring science and catering to anti-vaccine ideology. Already, families are being blocked. If the panel narrows eligibility, millions more will face higher costs, fewer options, and new risks as variants spread this fall.

Tell Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices: “Keep our families safe. Keep COVID vaccines accessible to all who need them.”

FDA and CDC safeguards were built to protect public health—not to serve conspiracy theories. But under RFK Jr., the process has been hijacked. Government lawyers themselves have warned against the panel’s sweeping new powers. And with the cold and flu season rapidly approaching, the stakes could not be higher.

Here’s the choice: broad, pharmacy-based access that protects communities—or a patchwork of hurdles that leave working people, older adults, disabled and immunocompromised people without protection.

When the public pushes back, it works. Outcry makes headlines. It stiffens the resolve of career scientists. And it sends a message to insurers and state officials: we will not accept barriers to basic public health.

We must speak out now—before the panel votes to lock in new limits on vaccine access.

Add your name today to tell RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel: Follow the science, keep COVID vaccines accessible, and stop blocking people from staying healthy.

The petition to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices reads: “Keep our families safe. Keep COVID vaccines accessible to all who need them.”
