Bill > HF2287

This bill requires vaccine manufacturers to give up their legal protection from lawsuits related to design defects in their vaccines before those vaccines can be sold or given to people in the state. Specifically, it states that a vaccine cannot be distributed, sold, or administered in the state unless the manufacturer explicitly waives any immunity from being sued for injuries caused by a design flaw in the vaccine. This includes waiving the immunity provided by the federal National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which is a law that offers some protection to vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits. The bill also clarifies that if a vaccine is distributed, sold, or administered in the state, the manufacturer is automatically considered to have waived this immunity for any injuries resulting from a design defect.
