The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Aug. 14 said it is reviving a long-disbanded task force to improve vaccines, after facing a lawsuit funded by Children’s Health Defense, which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. used to chair.

Health officials said they are reforming the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, which was disbanded in 1998 after producing a report.
