This amendment simply adds \"Measles virus\" as item 17 to Item 10 of that schedule.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nBy adding measles virus to the list, the regulation authorises CSL to manufacture measles vaccines, conduct research on the virus, or produce related medical treatments. This expands the laboratory's ability to respond to public health needs regarding measles prevention.\n\n**Who is affected:**\nPrimarily the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (a government-owned entity at the time). The change ultimately affects the Australian public by enabling domestic production of measles vaccines rather than relying on imports."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1969l00071","history":"/api/acts/c1969l00071/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1969l00071/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1969l00071/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1969l00071/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1969l00071/documents"}}
