Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-6503: Pharmaceutical agents and medical supplies – Purchase and

distribution by public health authority - Regulation of use, sale,

dispensing, distribution or transportation – Hoarding.

A. The public health authority may purchase and distribute

antitoxins, serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and

other pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies that it deems

advisable in the interest of preparing for or controlling a

catastrophic health emergency, without any additional legislative

authorization.

B. If a catastrophic health emergency results in a statewide or

regional shortage or threatened shortage of any product under

subsection A of this section, whether or not such product has been

purchased by the public health authority, the public health

authority may control, restrict, and regulate by rationing and using

quotas, prohibitions on shipments, allocation, or other means, the

use, sale, dispensing, distribution, or transportation of the

relevant product necessary to protect the public health, safety, and

welfare of the people of the state during the catastrophic health

emergency.

C. In making rationing or other supply and distribution

decisions, the public health authority may give preference to health

care providers, disaster response personnel, and mortuary staff.

D. During a state of catastrophic health emergency, the public

health authority may procure, store, or distribute any antitoxins,

serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other

pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the state

as may be reasonable and necessary to respond to the catastrophic

health emergency, with the right to take immediate possession

thereof. If a catastrophic health emergency simultaneously affects

more than one state, nothing in this section shall be construed to

allow the public health authority to obtain antitoxins, serums,

vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical

agents or medical supplies for the primary purpose of hoarding such

items or preventing fair and equitable distribution among affected

states.
