SB1549

Oklahoma SB1549 establishes civil liability for vaccine manufacturers under specific conditions and outlines relief for claimants.

Oklahoma SB1549 creates a new section of law making vaccine manufacturers liable for harm caused by their vaccines. It defines "advertise" as any paid promotion by a manufacturer, excluding discussions between health care providers and patients. The bill allows individuals to bring an action against a manufacturer within three years of the cause of action accruing. If a claimant prevails, the court must award actual damages, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees. The act will become effective November 1, 2026.
