Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would let people who say they were injured or killed by a vaccine sue the vaccine maker or the person who gave the vaccine in state or federal court, whether or not they first filed a claim with the federal vaccine injury compensation program. A person who wins money in court could not also get compensation from the program, and a person who gets program compensation could not also win in court. The bill repeals current federal rules that limit when and how such lawsuits can be brought and that set liability standards for manufacturers. It also removes COVID-19 vaccines from the list of 'covered countermeasures' that receive legal protection during public health emergencies.
