Senate Hearing Exposes Alleged Financial Incentives in Childhood Vaccines

At a recent Senate subcommittee hearing led by Sen. Ron Johnson, witnesses Polly Tommey and Dr. Brian Hooker revealed pediatric practices can receive $200–$600 bonuses per child for hitting high immunization compliance rates. High-volume clinics allegedly rake in big revenue from these quotas.

They also highlighted clinics dropping families who decline vaccines and strong pressure tactics around shots like Vitamin K and HPV.

Critics say this raises serious questions about medical ethics, parental consent, and transparency in pediatric care.
