Trump Administration Restores $600 Million in Vaccine Funding for Poor Countries After Group Accepts Distribution Changes
The Trump administration will release $600 million in congressionally appropriated vaccine funding to the global organization responsible for immunizing children in poor countries.
The funding was previously withheld over safety concerns raised by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which the administration described as unsubstantiated. The money will be released after the organization agreed to changes in its vaccine distribution plans.
