Summary of Bill HR 6133

Bill 117 hr 6133, also known as the "COVID-19 Vaccine Transparency Act," aims to increase transparency surrounding the authorization and licensing of COVID-19 vaccines by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bill requires the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to make all records of information submitted to the FDA in relation to the emergency use or licensing of a COVID-19 vaccine available for public inspection.

This means that any data, studies, or other information submitted to the FDA by vaccine manufacturers seeking authorization or licensing for a COVID-19 vaccine must be made accessible to the public. This transparency is intended to provide greater accountability and ensure that the decision-making process behind the approval of COVID-19 vaccines is open and transparent.

By requiring the disclosure of these records, the bill aims to increase public trust in the FDA's regulatory process and provide the public with access to important information about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. This transparency is crucial in ensuring that the public can make informed decisions about their health and well-being during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
