HHS unveils new vaccine injury surveillance plan with NIH clinic and reporting reimbursements
The Department of Health and Human Services announced a comprehensive initiative to improve monitoring of vaccine-related injuries.
The plan includes opening a new clinic at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, where researchers will study health problems reported after immunization.
It also adds an updated reporting system and offers reimbursements to physicians who submit suspected vaccine side-effect reports, aiming to gather better evidence and improve patient outcomes.
The effort is being led by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic.
