1. Aggregate limit of $50 million shared by the four manufacturers
and protecting only the manufacturers from third party claims
(subject to mutually acceptable HEW contract dividing all
responsibilities) Government pays on behalf of the manufacturers
in excess of the $50 million aggregate limit.
2. The premium for the $50 million coverage is determined as follows:
$1.20 for each $1.00 of indemnity or expense subject to $2 million
minimum and $40 million maximum.
3. Each manufacturer obtains its own excess insurance program protecting
it from a government claim for "bench error." The suggested amount
of coverage is $50 million for each manufacturer (including defense
cost regardless of outcome) with a cost estimated to be $375,000
per manufacturer.
4. The term "aggregate" includes indemnity, allocated claim expense,
and unallocated claim expense.

FEDERAL TORT CLAIMS ACT
Enact legislation amending the Federal Tort Claims Act
to provide that any claim brought by a claimant against a
drug manufacturer or other person alleging negligence in
the manufacture of or administering the flu vaccine shall
be deemed a claim against the United States, and the
United States shall be substituted as the real party in
interest. This would permit the Government to become involved
in all flu-vaccine claims at the outset, would require the
utilization of the existing administrative claims procedure
under the FTCA, would permit the Government to raise all
FTCA defenses, and would permit the Government to bring a
claim over against a manufacturer for any actual negligence
on its part which gave rise to the claim.
