The Biologics Control Act was passed in 1902 and controlled the quality of serums and other blood-related products. Passed in 1912, the Sherley Amendment made medicines safer by prohibiting the sale of drugs labeled with false therapeutic claims. The Childhood Vaccine Act was passed in 1986 and allowed the FDA to acquire information about clients taking vaccines, to recall biologics, and to recommend civil penalties if guidelines regarding biologic use were not followed. Lastly, in 1992 the Prescription Drug User Fee Act was passed requiring that nongeneric drug and biologic manufacturers pay fees to be used for improvements in the drug review process.
