COVID-19 Vaccine Lawsuit Immunity

Law360 recently published an article written by attorney Altom Maglio titled, “A New Way Forward For COVID Vaccine Lawsuit Immunity.” The article explores the upcoming changes as legal protections for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and administrators under the PREP Act come to an end. These protections, which have largely prevented lawsuits, are now expiring. The article also discusses how individuals who experienced adverse reactions to the vaccines have faced challenges in getting compensation through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

The article suggests that adding COVID-19 vaccines to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) could provide better financial support for those affected and help address legal challenges to the PREP Act. The full article offers valuable insights into the implications of these changes for both vaccine manufacturers and those impacted by the vaccines.
