US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has reinstated the long-defunct Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, aiming to enhance the safety, quality, and oversight of vaccines given to American children.
Originally created in 1986 but disbanded in 1998, the panel will now include experts from the NIH, FDA, and CDC, and will focus on reducing adverse reactions in childhood immunisations.
Supporters applaud the move as a long-overdue step to ensure vaccine safety and accountability, praising Kennedy for following through on the law and prioritizing children’s health. This action continues Kennedy’s broader review of US vaccine policy, which has already led to changes in advisory committees and recommendations.
