    In this section on Legal Considerations we will cover the following topics:

    • The legal underpinning for declaring National Emergencies (National Emergencies Act).
    • The actual invocation of an emergency by President Donald Trump for the COVID-19 emergency (Proclamation 9944).
    • Contracts in general (including contract types and when to use them, such as possibly using incentive clauses for accelerated delivery due to the COVID-19 emergency).
    • BARDA contracts for COVID-19 (contracts between the United Stated government and vaccine developers and for procuring vials).
    • Mitigating risks (ordering of hundreds of millions of vaccines in advance, support for starting volume production early).
    • Handling the potential liability issues associated with the COVID-19 vaccines that were developed under a highly accelerated timetable.
