HHS Opens Federal Clinic to Investigate Vaccine Injuries

HHS launches agency-wide initiative to strengthen vaccine injury research and reporting

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a series of actions to improve how the federal government identifies, documents, and responds to health problems reported following vaccination. The initiative, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., includes establishing a new clinic at the National Institutes of Health to study vaccine injuries, overhauling the VAERS reporting system, and creating a reimbursement program for doctors who report suspected vaccine-related side effects.
