Not started

Printed page 460 14. Department of Health and Human Services

“The FDA should restore the waiver to comply with RFRA and for the obvious public health benefits of increased childhood vaccination by families seeking ethically derived alternatives.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No waiver was restored to permit bulk importation of ethically derived vaccines. Full-text Federal Register searches pairing "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" with vaccine return two documents in the window, a Privacy Act system-of-records notice and the OCR guidance rescissions, neither about importation; no FDA import policy in the window addresses ethically derived vaccine alternatives.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
