NIH launches vaccine injury center that will also study long-term post-infection symptoms
read at STAT ↗RegulatoryNeutral
NIH announced a new center dedicated to investigating vaccine injuries.
The center's mandate expands to include research on persistent symptoms after infections, such as long Covid.
Officials said distinguishing vaccine-related effects from infection-related effects can be challenging because immune responses are similar, influencing treatment approaches.
The broader scope aims to improve understanding of chronic post-infectious conditions and guide future public health policies.
