How Has the PREP Act Been Utilized in Recent Emergencies?
The PREP Act has been invoked multiple times in recent years. During the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, it facilitated the rapid development and distribution of vaccines. More recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the PREP Act played a pivotal role in the expedited development, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostic tests, contributing to a more effective and coordinated response to the global crisis.
