The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee wrapped up the first day of its meeting since Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed the entire panel and appointed his own hand-selected members.

A key vaccine advisory committee on Wednesday kicked off the first meeting of its newly installed lineup under a cloud of controversy — compounded by a financial conflict review that has already led one member to drop out.

It is unclear how Kennedy's new members, including Dr. Robert Malone, will affect the panel's vaccine recommendations.
