NVAC Resolution: Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines – Final Report and Recommendation

January 22, 1996

The NVAC applauds the effort of the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines in producing its recent landmark report, identifying key issues and enhancing collaboration on behalf of vaccine safety. The Committee urges the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to expeditiously approve the Report, and encourages implementation through immediate development of a work plan with definitive task and time line delegated to member agencies of the Task Force.

We firmly believe that such action steps under the Report’s identified priorities of education, research and surveillance are critical to ensuring vaccine safety for children and families in the United States.
