AI Summary
This resolution urges the United States Congress to compel the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to fulfill its legal obligations under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA). The NCVIA, enacted to ensure a stable vaccine supply and provide a system for vaccine injury claims, requires DHHS to submit a report to Congress every two years detailing its efforts to improve vaccine safety. This resolution highlights that DHHS has failed to submit these required biennial reports, which are crucial for ensuring the development and implementation of safer vaccines and for informing the public about vaccine safety initiatives.
