Video FAQ: The vaccine injury compensation program

Vaccine Court: not your usual court. In 1986 Congress created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) to award compensation to victims of vaccine injury. Vaccine injury claims are filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, DC where it will be heard by a special master. A lawyer from the Department of Justice, who represents the Secretary of Health and Human Services, will defend the case. If the special master finds that the individual suffered a vaccine injury, compensation will be awarded for the injured person’s past and future medical needs, future lost wages, and past and future pain and suffering.
