The letter highlights the strong scientific evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and underscores the role of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in providing no-fault compensation for rare vaccine-related injuries. It emphasizes maintaining rigorous evidentiary standards and established processes for determining covered injuries, warning that adding a large number of conditions without sufficient scientific support could overwhelm the program, delay valid claims, and jeopardize its ability to function effectively and sustain access to vaccines.
