> Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the federal health department is launching an agency-wide effort focused on injuries claimed to be linked to vaccines. It includes a clinic at the National Institutes of Health and a proposal to reimburse doctors for reporting possible injuries to VAERS. The clinic opened October 5, though the administration did not disclose its opening or Kennedy’s visit at the time.
