President-elect Trump’s choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., could significantly impact the perception and uptake of vaccines. Whether he or any of Trump’s other vaccine-skeptical nominees receive Senate confirmation, signs suggest the incoming administration may attempt to change long-established vaccine policy in the U.S.
This webinar will cover the ins and outs of how vaccines are approved and recommended, how vaccine injuries are adjudicated and compensated, and the powers of the HHS Secretary over those procedures. We’ll cover what the secretary has the power to undo, what checks and balances exist on those powers, and what the potential consequences of those actions could be.
Led by AHCJ Health Beat leader for infectious disease Tara Haelle, this free webinar will prepare reporters for anticipating possible policy moves in the new administration.
