Robert Kennedy Jr. Ends Covid EUA Declarations, But PREP Act Protection Remains
July 1, 2026
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. [RFK] has now moved to terminate the COVID-19 emergency use authorization (EUA) declarations for drugs, biological products, and medical devices.
However, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness [PREP] Act of 2005 is still in place. The PREP Act authorizes the HHS Secretary to provide legal immunity to manufacturers, distributors, and administrators of medical countermeasures (vaccines, treatments, test) during a declared public health emergency.
Getting rid of the COVID EUA is a mere regulatory gesture, leaving people injured by the COVID vaccine with few paths to sue and no clear sign that Washington intends to change that.
