WASHINGTON -U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Monday that he will work to “fix” the program that compensates victims of vaccine injuries, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
“I will not allow the VICP to continue to ignore its mandate and fail its mission of quickly and fairly compensating vaccine-injured individuals,” Kennedy said in a post on X. “Together, we will steer the Vaccine Court back to its original congressional intent.”
He said he was working with Attorney General Pam Bondi on the issue.
