VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION DATA




MOST RECENT DATA REPORT

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Data Report (PDF - 245 KB) -
updated October 1, 2021.

Updated monthly, and includes the number of

 * petitions filed;
 * adjudications compensated and dismissed;
 * awards paid by type and amount;
 * claims by vaccine; and
 * adjudication categories by vaccine.

The United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history. In
the majority of cases, vaccines cause no side effects, however they can occur,
as with any medication—but most are mild. Very rarely, people experience more
serious side effects, like allergic reactions.

In those instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
allows individuals to file a petition for compensation.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AWARDED COMPENSATION?

Being awarded compensation for a petition does not necessarily mean that the
vaccine caused the alleged injury. In fact:

 * Approximately 60% of all compensation awarded by the VICP comes as result of
   a negotiated settlement between the parties in which HHS has not concluded,
   based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged vaccine(s) caused the
   alleged injury.
 * Attorneys are eligible for reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the
   petitioner is awarded compensation by the Court, if certain minimal
   requirements are met. In those circumstances, attorneys are paid by the VICP
   directly. By statute, attorneys may not charge any other fee, including a
   contingency fee, for his or her services in representing a petitioner in the
   VICP.


WHAT REASONS MIGHT A PETITION RESULT IN A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT?

 * Consideration of prior U.S. Court of Federal Claims decisions, both parties
   decide to minimize risk of loss through settlement
 * A desire to minimize the time and expense of litigating a case  
 * The desire to resolve a petition quickly

of Federal Claims, which is responsible for resolving petitions for compensation
under the VICP.
