AstraZeneca immune from Covid-19 vaccine injury lawsuit

A Tenth Circuit panel ruled that AstraZeneca is immune from a lawsuit filed by Brianne Dressen, who claimed injuries from a 2020 Covid-19 vaccine trial. The court held that the PREP Act shields the company from liability, including breach-of-contract claims, though it remanded the case to assess if AstraZeneca waived immunity in the informed consent form.
