Bill overview
This bill, the Cure the Coronavirus Act, aims to speed up the development of treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 by modifying a federal program that incentivizes drug manufacturers. Specifically, it expands the tropical disease priority review voucher program to include COVID-19 as a qualifying disease. This means that companies developing treatments or vaccines for COVID-19 could receive priority review for other drugs they are developing, potentially shortening the time it takes for these products to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The goal is to accelerate the availability of critical medical resources during the pandemic.
