Title: National Vaccine Compensation Program: Separate Category for Hepatitis A, Influenza, Meningococcal, Human Papillomavirus Vaccines | |
Abstract: The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services proposes to change the Vaccine Injury Table (Table) to create separate categories for hepatitis A, trivalent influenza, meningococcal and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. When a vaccine is recommended for routine administration to children by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and after an excise tax is imposed on it by Congress, a vaccine is added to the Table under the new vaccines category (Category XIV). These four vaccines have been recommended for routine administration to children by the CDC and have had an excise tax imposed on them. Notices were published informing the public that these four vaccines have been added to the Table under Category XIV. The next step is that new vaccines are added as their own separate category, with associated injuries/conditions, including the time periods in which the first symptoms or significant aggravation of such injuries/conditions must occur, if applicable, once the Secretary goes through the rulemaking process. | |
