"WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will vote on whether to make COVID-19 vaccines part of the mandatory childhood immunization schedule. If the committee votes in favor, vaccine makers’ liability for injuries will transfer from the corporations to the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) – effectively shifting the financial responsibility for the shots to the tax payer. Pfizer and Moderna have so far been temporarily shielded from liability through the PREP Act, but that protection will end in 2023."
