Medicines Amendment Bill (No 2)
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill would amend the Medicines Act to allow for fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be lawfully administered for off-label use, and for further doses to be administered if supported by scientific evidence.MP in charge
