Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen the security of the pharmaceutical supply chain and combat the problem of counterfeit drugs. It updates regulations to require specific information, like lot numbers and expiration dates, to be included on the packaging of individual doses of medications, rather than just larger containers. The goal is to improve the authenticity and traceability of drugs, including COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines, and to allow patients to verify the authenticity of their medications.
