>The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that the PREP Act, which grants immunity for using COVID-19 countermeasures like vaccines during emergencies, does not protect healthcare providers from liability for misdiagnosis-related negligence, even if a countermeasure is used.

 

>This decision stems from a case where a plaintiff alleged medical negligence due to a misdiagnosis, clarifying that PREP Act immunity applies to the administration of countermeasures, not diagnostic errors, as per 42 U.S.C. ยง 247d-6d (2018).

 

>The ruling ensures accountability for diagnostic mistakes, potentially encouraging more cautious medical practices during emergencies, though critics argue broader immunity could better support rapid crisis responses.
