Ending Liability Shield for Vaccine Makers and COVID-19 Vaccine Protection.
This bill removes the federal liability shield for vaccine manufacturers and administrators, allowing citizens to sue them directly in state or federal court for vaccine-related injuries or death. It fundamentally changes the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) by eliminating the requirement to first seek compensation through the federal system. Crucially, the bill explicitly excludes COVID-19 vaccines from liability protection, immediately exposing their manufacturers to civil lawsuits.
Key points
Citizens gain the right to sue vaccine manufacturers and administrators directly in court for vaccine-related injuries or death.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) is restructured, removing time limits and the mandatory election between the program and civil court.
Manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines specifically lose all existing legal protection against civil liability for damages caused by their products.
