Published Date: 4/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program just shared a list of new petitions from people claiming vaccine-related injuries. This program helps folks who might have been hurt by certain childhood vaccines get money without a long court fight. If you or someone you know is affected, now’s the time to check the list and understand your rights—because timing and paperwork matter!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
No‑fault vaccine injury compensation available
You can seek no‑fault compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program if you were injured by certain childhood vaccines. Petitions are filed with the United States Court of Federal Claims (the Secretary of HHS is named respondent) and special masters decide eligibility and compensation.
Compensation possible for non‑Table or late‑onset conditions
Compensation may be awarded for conditions not listed in the Vaccine Injury Table or for conditions whose first symptom occurs outside the Table's time periods, but only if the petitioner shows the condition was caused by a vaccine listed in the Table.
Publication of petition list for Feb 1–28, 2025
HRSA published a Federal Register list of petitions it received between February 1, 2025 and February 28, 2025. The statute requires the Secretary to publish notice within 30 days after receiving service of any petition, so names, cities, and Court of Federal Claims docket numbers for petitions in that period are now public.
Opportunity to submit written information to cases
All interested persons may submit written information relevant to listed petitions on specified issues (for example, evidence that a condition is unrelated to vaccine or that a non‑Table condition was caused by a vaccine). Submissions must include an original and three (3) copies filed with the Clerk of the United States Court of Federal Claims at 717 Madison Place NW, Washington, DC 20005, and a copy to HRSA at 5600 Fishers Lane, 8W‑25A, Rockville, MD 20857, using the Court caption and docket number.
