Key Points
- A vaccine is the only product that is free from manufacturer liability, due to the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which “Provides that no vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death: (1) resulting from unavoidable side effects; or (2) solely due to the manufacturer’s failure to provide direct warnings.” https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/house-bill/5546
- Since the passage of the 1986 NCVIA, the vaccine schedule has expanded significantly. Just because someone really wants you to take something, doesn’t mean you don’t have a right to know what is in it.
- You receive a package insert for any other over the counter and prescription medication and pharmaceutical product. This bill will allow all consumers easy access to all vaccine package inserts online, as well as CDC Vaccine Excipient List and identification of any vaccines that contain
a State of Oregon identified High Priority Chemical of Concern; - Prior to a vaccine being administered the doctor’s office would provide one Oregon State specific paper with a URL and a QR Code that will link directly to the OHA maintained website with the information listed above. This is in addition to the Federally required Vaccine Information Sheet that provides general (not product specific) information about the disease and vaccine
- As a
consumer you have a right to receive this information prior to vaccination to achieve full informed consent - PLEASE- keep your comments focused on the policy at hand. This bill is about consumer access to information. This is not a debate on the pros and cons of vaccines. Keeping your comments and the responses of others centered on this bill and not all the issues associated with
it, is important. Those that support our vaccine recommendedschedule and those that choose an alternative schedule can ALL support the right for access to information on this product.
