"I searched for over a year for a lawyer to take my case when I was injured by a vaccine. No one would take it, until I discovered Siri & Glimstad. The medical system failed me, but they didn't. They believed me and got me the closure I had searched for. I am so grateful to them for their communication and help at every step of this process. I cannot recommend them enough."

Questions? We're here to help...
What is the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)?
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program ("VICP") is an alternative to traditional methods of litigation. The VICP was established by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which was passed to address the growing number of personal injury lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers that threatened vaccine supply and public health.
The Act aimed to reduce costly litigation and lawsuits by providing an alternative to traditional personal injury litigation and civil lawsuits for vaccine-related harm. The VICP offers individuals a way to seek compensation for vaccine injuries without having to file a civil lawsuit in the regular court system.
The federal agencies that run the VICP:
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) - the Respondent in the case, conducts medical reviews of petitions and makes Court-ordered compensation payments
- Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) - responsible for the services administration and oversight of the VICP
- U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) - represents HHS in Court
- Special Masters at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims - makes the final decision regarding whether a petition is compensated and the type and amount of compensation
What vaccines are covered under VICP?
Covered vaccines are those recommended by the CDC for routine administration to children or pregnant women. If your injury is the result of one of the vaccinations listed below, you may be eligible to file a petition for compensation in the VICP:
- Diphtheria (DTP, DTaP, Tdap, DT, Td, TT)
- Haemophilus Influenza (Hib)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- Influenza, seasonal (FLU)
- Measles
- Mumps
- Meningococcal
- Pertussis
- Pneumococcal conjugate
- Polio
- Rotavirus
- Rubella
- Tetanus
- Varicella
You may also be eligible to file a petition in the VICP if you received a vaccine on this list and a vaccine that is not on this list and both vaccines were administered into the same arm. If you are injured by a vaccine that is not on this list, you may still be able to file a claim in state or federal court.
What vaccines are NOT covered under VICP?
These vaccines are not covered under VICP:
- Non-seasonal influenza vaccines
- Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPSV, PPV)
- Herpes Zoster (shingles) vaccine
- COVID-19 Vaccines
What are the VICP requirements for filing a claim?
To be eligible to file a claim in the VICP, you must meet one of the following criteria:
- An injury lasting more than 6 months, OR
- An injury requiring inpatient hospitalization and surgery, OR
- Death
The vaccine administered must be one that is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. While most common vaccines are listed, several are not, so it is important to verify coverage prior to filing.
United States citizenship is not required. However, the injured person must meet one of the following:
- Received the vaccine in the United States
- Been a United States citizen serving abroad for the armed forces or other U.S. governmental entity
- The vaccine manufacturer was in the United States, and the injured person returned within six months to the U.S.
Who can file a claim?
The following individuals may file a claim in the VICP:
- An individual injured by a covered vaccine
- A parent or legal guardian of a child or disabled adult injured by a covered vaccine
- The legal representative of the estate of a deceased person injured by a covered vaccine
Who are the parties involved in a vaccine injury case?
When cases are filed in the VICP, they are not filed against the manufacturer, vaccine administrator, doctor, pharmacist, pharmacy, hospital, etc.
The injured individual or their representative is referred to as the petitioner (injured party), and the petitioner's claim is the formal request for compensation submitted to the VICP.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is the respondent. Attorneys from the U.S. Department of Justice represent HHS and defend vaccine injury cases brought in the VICP.
What types of damages are available for vaccine injury claims?
