AI Summary
This bill establishes new rules for vaccine manufacturers in Oklahoma, making them liable for harm caused by their advertised vaccines under specific conditions. It defines "advertise" broadly to include various forms of paid promotion, such as television commercials, online ads, and influencer marketing, but excludes direct communication between healthcare providers and patients or materials displayed in clinical settings. Under this bill, a vaccine manufacturer can be sued if their advertised vaccine injures an individual in Oklahoma, and such lawsuits must be filed within three years of the injury occurring. If an individual successfully sues a manufacturer under these provisions, the court will award them compensation for actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees, and the law will take effect on November 1, 2026.
