Seeking Compensation for Your Vaccine Injury?

Congress established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) in 1986. This program has compensated thousands of people who have experienced adverse vaccine responses with billions of dollars.

How Does the NVICP Claim Process Work?

For vaccine-related injuries, there is a unique process. Claims are filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. The NVICP claim process can take as little as 6 months or as long as a few years.

A brief video published by The Federal Judicial Center describes the process in detail.

  1. A Claim for a Vaccine-Related Injury is Filed

    A claim is filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the Secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services.

  2. The NVICP Claim Review Process Begins

    Two government agencies review the claim and make compensation recommendations:

    • The Department of Health and Human Services conducts a medical review of the petition.
    • The Department of Justice issues a legal report including the medical review and submits it to the US Court of Federal Claims.
    • A court-appointed special master looks at the report, holds a hearing, and then decides.
  3. Court steps in

    If the government agencies do not recommend compensation or, if the parties dispute the special masters findings, then the Court of Federal Claims will decide whether compensation to the injured person is appropriate.
