The Trump administration asks a U.S. appeals court to allow Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to select members of a vaccine advisory panel, according to multiple reports. The request comes as part of a legal dispute over who has authority to appoint or determine the membership of the panel. The government is seeking court permission for Kennedy to make those selections while the case proceeds. Separate accounts describe that the administration filed the motion with an appellate court, asking it to overturn or pause restrictions tied to earlier decisions about the panel’s composition. The reporting indicates that the dispute centers on the process for choosing panel members rather than on a specific vaccine decision. The outcome could affect how the panel is constituted going forward and could influence the timeline for the panel’s work. Other parties in the litigation are expected to respond, and the appeals court is expected to decide whether the request is granted.
