HHS opens a vaccine-injury clinic at NIH and moves to pay doctors to file VAERS reports
The clinic opened Oct. 5 at NIH headquarters in Bethesda.
The clinic will evaluate and study people who report health problems after vaccination, but a report to VAERS, the federal vaccine-safety database, does not by itself show that a vaccine caused an injury.
Where the doctor payments stand:
- Reuters says HHS is moving to have CMS reimburse doctors for filing VAERS reports.
- The Washington Examiner says the payments were announced as part of the rollout.
- The Hill says the payments are still under consideration.
