People could sue vaccine companies and administrators directly for injuries, ending their special legal shields.
This bill would let people who believe they were injured by a vaccine sue the manufacturer or administrator directly in court. Currently, they must first go through a special government program, and vaccine makers have strong legal protections. This change would also remove liability shields for COVID-19 vaccine makers.
Today, people generally must first go through a federal program to seek compensation for vaccine injuries. Vaccine makers also have special legal protections, with time limits like 36 months for injury claims. If this bill becomes law, people could immediately sue vaccine manufacturers and administrators in court. Vaccine makers would also lose their special protections, including for COVID-19 vaccines. The time limits for filing claims with the federal program would also be removed.
