Vaccines for the New Millennium Act was a bill introduced by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the 107th Congress in 2001. The bill would have provided tax credits to private sector companies working on vaccines for some of the world's most deadly infectious agents. The tax credits took the form of a 30 percent credit on qualified research and development expenditures related to a set of diseases including HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria among others.
