Unrelated to approval status. We handle vaccine injury compensation via a special court and system funded by a tax on vaccine doses so manufacturers don't nope out and threaten the production of vaccines entirely.
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act is irrelevant here; the liability protection for all COVID countermeasures, including vaccines, is not under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program established by that act, but is instead under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program established by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act.
Yes, and as I understand it, the COVID vaccines under EUA are exempt from even this vaccine court system to date because of an HHS declaration in March 2020. So this isn't changing?
