Vaccine legislation

Vaccine legislation refers to laws and policies that regulate the development, approval, distribution, and administration of vaccines. These laws ensure vaccines are safe, effective, and accessible while balancing individual rights with public health needs. Legislation may mandate vaccinations for certain groups, set standards for manufacturing, and determine liability protections for manufacturers. It also establishes procedures for monitoring vaccine safety and managing outbreaks. Overall, vaccine legislation aims to protect communities by promoting high vaccination rates, preventing disease spread, and maintaining public trust in immunization programs.
