This bill, the Securing America's Vaccines for Emergencies (SAVE) Act of 2021, amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to ensure the supply of medical materials essential to national defense, including drugs, devices, and biological products. Key provisions include: authorizing the use of the Act's authorities to secure the drug supply chain; strengthening domestic capabilities for essential medical materials; requiring the President to develop a strategy to address vulnerabilities in medical supply chains and diversify them as needed for national defense; and allowing the President to make payments to entities that produce critical components, technology, or products/raw materials to increase the security of supply chains. The bill aims to bolster the resilience of the US medical supply chain to address national security concerns.
