Contact Congress about H.R. 87: Protecting Our Children from the CDC Act

COVID-19 vaccines could not be listed on the federal child and teen vaccine schedule unless HHS first posts all related clinical data online. Any COVID-19 vaccine already listed would come off right away. It could return later if the new public-data rule is met.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 87: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects parents, children, doctors, federal health agencies, and vaccine makers. Parents and health workers may see COVID-19 vaccines removed from the federal child and teen schedule unless the required data is posted first. HHS and the CDC would have to prepare and post the data before listing those vaccines. Vaccine makers and sponsors could be affected if the data includes records tied to their products or staff.

Why this matters: The bill could change what doctors and parents see on the federal vaccine schedule for children and teens. That schedule is widely used to guide vaccine timing. The bill tries to make detailed COVID-19 vaccine data public before the government recommends those shots on the schedule. Its real-world effect would depend on how fast HHS can prepare the data and how states, schools, doctors, and families respond.

Key provisions in H.R. 87

  • HHS, the CDC, and related offices could not put a COVID-19 vaccine on the child and teen vaccine schedule unless HHS posts the data first. The public CDC website would need all clinical safety and effectiveness data that HHS has.
  • The posted data must include harmful side effects. Before posting it, HHS must remove details that could identify patients, agency staff, or sponsor staff.
  • Any COVID-19 vaccine already on the child and teen vaccine schedule would come off right away. That would happen on the day the bill became law.
  • The Secretary of Health and Human Services must handle the follow-up steps. That means taking the needed administrative actions to remove those vaccines from the schedule.
  • A removed COVID-19 vaccine could go back on the schedule later. HHS would first have to meet the new data-posting rule and follow any other laws that apply.
