Vaccine Administration Protection Temporary Amendment Act of 2026

This bill temporarily shields healthcare providers and their employers in Washington, D.C. from civil lawsuits related to injuries caused by administering vaccines that are legally required or recommended by health authorities. It applies to licensed medical professionals and the organizations they work for when providing vaccines authorized by District law or guidance from the CDC and Department of Health. The protection covers claims arising from vaccine administration but excludes cases involving willful misconduct or gross negligence. The law would take effect after approval and expires 225 days after implementation.
