Let Congress Know About the Importance of Immunity for Pandemic Responders

April 23, 2020
Policy Snapshot

There is still an opportunity to ensure that members of Congress hear about the importance of immunity for pandemic responders. Protect Patients Now needs your help to protect patients and the health care providers who are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.   

Health care professionals and facilities are putting themselves at risk each day while facing workforce shortages, inadequate safety supplies, and insufficient information or changing guidance from federal, state, and local government officials. Despite this, they continue to go above and beyond, doing everything possible to treat the sick and bring comfort to others, often without regard to their own personal wellbeing.

At the same time health care professionals and facilities are answering the call to service, they are simultaneously threatened with future lawsuits based on circumstances that were beyond their control. Congress must act now to provide them relief from the threat of lawsuits.
