RE: Feds pushing to close lawsuit loophole that allows preganant women to sue for vaccine injury. I kid you not!
if you are upset by this potential change or have a comment:
Seeking Public Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: Adding the Category of Vaccines Recommended for Pregnant Women to the Vaccine Injury Table (PDF - 196 KB).
September 17 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am (ET)
HRSA will host a public hearing to obtain public comments. View the August 30, 2018 Federal Register Notice (PDF - 196 KB) for more information.
As required by a recent amendment to the VICP’s authorizing statute, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary) proposes to amend the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) Vaccine Injury Table to include vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for routine administration in pregnant women.
Thus, the Secretary only seeks public comment on how the addition of this new category is proposed to be formatted on the Table.
Submit comments on or before October 1, 2018 using one of the ways described in the proposed rule.

"Secretary only seeks public comment on how the addition of this new category is proposed to be formatted on the Table.
one wonders what that means exactly, looks like they already extended it to pregnant women and the unborn in 2016 so if they are injured they can be remunerated as well.
