Portuguese to English: Vaccine manufacturers are not liable for adverse events General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - Portuguese Em resumo: a jurisprudência firmou o entendimento no sentido de que, nos casos dessas campanhas, o fabricante de vacinas não é responsável por efeitos adversos, uma vez que esses efeitos não decorrem de nenhum tipo de defeito ou vício na vacina (nem de informação, como se verá, já que vacina é escolhida e aplicada pelo Poder Público). Por isso, os casos de efeitos adversos, inevitáveis, integram o risco inerente à própria atividade administrativa da campanha de vacinação em massa. Não por acaso, a legislação de regência e a jurisprudência, citada no preâmbulo, acertam ao indicar o Poder Público como único responsável.
Translation - English In short: case law has settled the understanding to the effect that, in cases of these campaigns, vaccine manufacturers are not liable for adverse effects, since these effects do not result from any type of defect or flaw in the vaccine (nor in the provision of information, as will be seen, since the vaccine is chosen and administered by the Public Authorities). This is why cases of adverse effects, which are inevitable, are part of the risk that is inherent to the very administrative activity of mass vaccination campaigns. It is no coincidence that the governing legislation and case law, mentioned in the preamble, are correct upon indicating that the Public Authorities are solely liable.

Bio
I studied Engineering at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge University, graduating in 1991.
Before moving to Brazil in 2000, I lived in London working for a UK engineering
consultancy firm. In Rio de Janeiro, I began teaching English as a Foreign
Language to lawyers before founding my translation company (EIRELI) in 2006. I moved to
Lisbon in 2016 where I continue to carry out translations of all types of
legal, business and technical documents between the English and Portuguese
languages for clients in Brazil and Portugal.
