Vaccine Access Improvement Act of 2023
This bill modifies tax rules for vaccines by adding new vaccines to the list of taxable vaccines under federal law. Specifically, it includes any vaccine placed on the Vaccine Injury Table under the Public Health Service Act, which determines eligibility for compensation for vaccine-related injuries. Manufacturers and distributors will need to account for these vaccines under the tax code once HHS adds them to the injury compensation list. The change affects tax reporting for these specific vaccines but does not alter vaccine access, costs, or the injury compensation program itself.
