The Senate added its stamp of approval to H.R. 307, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA), agreeing by unanimous vote to reauthorize the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Project BioShield. The move followed strong bipartisan support for the bill in the House, which passed its version in January by a 395-29 vote.
