This bill, titled the "LIABLE Act" , aims to prohibit any federal law from granting immunity or limiting the liability of COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers . It specifically targets existing federal statutes, including sections of the Public Health Service Act, that might otherwise shield these manufacturers from claims. The legislation ensures individuals can pursue claims for loss caused by, arising out of, or relating to the administration or use of a COVID-19 vaccine. It clarifies that seeking compensation through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program or the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program does not prevent an individual from bringing a civil action. The Act defines a "COVID-19 vaccine" as one authorized by the FDA to prevent or mitigate COVID-19 harm or limit SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and its provisions apply retroactively to all vaccine administrations.
