Based on an independent review by each of the Parties of the PREP Act Declaration issued by DHHS on March 10, 2020, pursuant to section 319F–3 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–6d), and a related advisory opinion issued by the DHHS Office of General Counsel on April 14, 2020, the Parties believe that Regeneron is a covered person eligible for immunity under the PREP Act for activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID–19.
