What is the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program or VICP?

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) provides a financial path for people who experience certain injuries after receiving covered vaccines. It is a federal program that allows claims to be reviewed and compensated without going through traditional lawsuits.

The program ensures that people affected by vaccine-related injuries have access to medical and financial support while keeping the vaccine system safe and reliable for everyone.

Filing a Vaccine Injury Claim

Filing a vaccine claim is a complicated and adversarial process. Vaccine claims are not your typical personal injury cases. A vaccine lawyer needs to be a member of the Court of Federal Claims Bar and should also be highly experienced in litigating vaccine injury cases in the Vaccine Court.
