The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has revived the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines after nearly three decades of dormancy, prompted by a lawsuit from an anti-vaccine group founded by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The task force will focus on improving vaccine safety and oversight and will be chaired by NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya. This decision comes amid ongoing debates around vaccine policy and advisory panel restructuring under the current HHS leadership.
