Australia’s Chosen BS-19 Vaccine Provider Exempt From Liability Claims

AstraZeneca to be exempt from coronavirus vaccine liability claims in most countries
(Reuters) - AstraZeneca <AZN.L> has been granted protection from future product liability claims related to its COVID-19 vaccine hopeful by most of the countries with which it has struck supply agreements, a senior executive told Reuters.

With 25 companies testing their vaccine candidates on humans and getting ready to immunise hundred millions of people once the products are shown to work, the question of who pays for any claims for damages in case of side effects has been a tricky point in supply negotiations.

"This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in ... four years the vaccine is showing side effects," Ruud Dobber, a member of Astra’s senior executive team, told Reuters.
