[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1718755, member: 17025"] The PREP Act designation means that claims related to coronavirus vaccines are [URL='https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10443']covered [/URL]by the [URL='https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp']Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program[/URL] (CICP), not the [URL='https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html']National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program[/URL] (VICP), which was set up to handle vaccine lawsuits. In other words, a person cannot sue a manufacturer for an injury caused by a vaccine or other product listed as a countermeasure, but they can seek compensation from CICP filing a claim. The intent of the law is to urge manufacturers to quickly gear up to combat a possible pandemic without fear of lawsuits. (There is an exception in the law if a person can prove "willful misconduct" by a manufacturer.) Claims filed under CICP for lost income are capped at $50,000 per year and unlike the VICP it does not provide any compensation for pain, suffering, emotional distress, or similar damages. Cases filed under VICP also have limitations; they are heard in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, where there are no juries and a court-appointed special master decides the case. The CICP website [URL='https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-data']shows[/URL] that as of Aug. 2, 686 people have alleged injuries or deaths from coronavirus vaccines but so far no countermeasure claims have received any compensation. "The liability protections afforded under the PREP Act are tied to the declared public health emergency and not whether the vaccine is sold under an EUA," Castillo said. "Therefore, both Comirnaty and the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccine receive the same liability protections as medical countermeasures against covid-19."
