No-fault vaccine injury compensation
If you believe you or your child was injured by a childhood vaccine, you can file a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to seek no-fault compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The Program covers injuries listed in the Vaccine Injury Table at 42 CFR 100.3, and it can also award compensation for conditions not listed or for symptoms outside the Table time periods if you show the vaccine caused the condition. HRSA published a list of petitions it received from August 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026.
