CDC is now soliciting nominations of candidates for the positions of the 5 ACIP members whose 4-year terms will end on June 30, 2007.
The ACIP Solicitation for Nominees letter describes the process of submission of suggestions for nominees, and will be posted on the ACIP website at www.cdc.gov/nip/acip (click on 'request for nominations'). Non-voting members of the ACIP (i.e., eight ex officio members representing other US Gov't agencies and 22 liaison representatives) do not have fixed terms, and therefore will continue in their present positions.
The deadline for receipt of application is December 18, 2006. The Steering Committee will meet early in January 2007 to finalize selection of proposed nominees, which is due in the Department of Health and Human Services in January 2007.
