Fed Regist. 2011 Jun 22;76(120):36367-9.
On September 13, 2010, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing changes to the regulations governing the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Specifically, the Secretary proposed revisions to the Vaccine Injury Table (Table) to create distinct listings for hepatitis A, trivalent influenza, meningococcal, and human papillomavirus vaccines. The Secretary is now making this amendment to the Table by final rule; it is technical in nature. The four categories of vaccines described in this final rule are already covered vaccines under the VICP (starting in 2004) and are currently listed in a placeholder category (box XIII) in the Table. This final rule will list these vaccines as separate categories on the Table, with no associated injuries noted at this time, in order to help the public identify clearly that these vaccines are covered by the VICP. The changes implemented here are authorized by section 2114(e) of the Public Health Service Act (the Act).
2010年9月13日，卫生与公众服务部部长（部长）在《联邦公报》上发布了一项拟议规则制定通知（NPRM），提议对管理国家疫苗伤害赔偿计划（VICP）的法规进行修改。具体而言，部长提议修订《疫苗伤害表》（表格），为甲型肝炎、三价流感、脑膜炎球菌和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗创建不同的列表。部长现通过最终规则对该表格进行此项修订；其性质为技术性修订。本最终规则中描述的四类疫苗已经是VICP（自2004年起）涵盖的疫苗，目前列在表格中的一个占位类别（第十三栏）中。本最终规则将把这些疫苗在表格中列为单独类别，目前不注明相关伤害，以便帮助公众清楚地识别这些疫苗属于VICP的涵盖范围。此处实施的变更由《公共卫生服务法》（该法）第2114(e)节授权。
