The proposed changes by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to upend longstanding vaccine policies are deeply concerning and could lead to higher costs for patients trying to access life-saving vaccines. According to reports, shifting guidelines around vaccine approval and removing liability protections for manufacturers would likely cause many companies to exit the vaccine market entirely. This would reduce competition and supply, inevitably driving up prices that individuals and families would have to bear. Maintaining a robust vaccine infrastructure is crucial for public health and affordability. I urge you to take action to block these reckless policy shifts that threaten to make vaccines unnecessarily expensive and inaccessible for many Americans. Protecting vaccine availability and affordability must be a top priority.
