In addition, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, the Assistant Secretary for Health, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (or the designees of such officials) serve as nonvoting ex officio members. HHS will consider nominations of all qualified individuals to ensure the ACCV includes the areas of subject matter expertise noted above. As indicated above, at least two of the three ACCV members of the general public must be legal representatives (parents or guardians) of children who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death. Because those members must be the legal representatives of children who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death, to be considered for appointment to the ACCV in that category, there must have been a finding (i.e., a decision) by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims or a civil court that a VICP-covered vaccine caused, or was presumed to have caused, the represented child’s injury or death. Additionally, based on a recommendation made by ACCV, the Secretary will consider having a health professional with expertise in obstetrics as one of the members of the general public. Interested applicants may selfnominate or be nominated by another individual or organization.

Nomination packages may be submitted directly by the individual being nominated or by the person/organization recommending the candidate. Nomination packages will be collected and retained to create a pool of possible future ACCV voting members. When a vacancy occurs, nomination packages from the appropriate category will be reviewed and nominees may be contacted at that time. HHS endeavors to ensure that ACCV’s membership is balanced in terms of points of view represented and that individuals from a broad representation of geographic areas, gender, and ethnic and minority groups, as well as individuals with disabilities, are considered for membership. Appointments shall be made without discrimination on the basis of age, disability, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status.
