He joins IMA Senior Advisor Dr. Robert Malone, underscoring the IMA’s growing role in ensuring that vaccine policy is grounded in rigorous science and independent clinical expertise.
“This is an important moment, not only for this accomplished physician, but for young moms across the country who deserve vaccine guidance for their children that puts science and health outcomes first,” said Dr. Kat Lindley, Director of IMA’s Fellowship Program and mother of five. “Dr. Milhoan represents the very best of medicine, and his experience will bring depth, independence, and balance to the ACIP panel.”
