Injury Compensation Program (the
Program), as required by Section
2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act, as amended. While the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
is named as the respondent in all
proceedings brought by the filing of
petitions for compensation under the
Program, the United States Court of
Federal Claims is charged by statute
with responsibility for considering and
acting upon the petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the Program in
general, contact the Clerk, United States
Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison
Place NW., Washington, DC 20005,
(202) 357–6400. For information on
HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the
Director, National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Program provides a system of no-fault
compensation for certain individuals
who have been injured by specified
childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title
XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–
10 et seq., provides that those seeking
compensation are to file a petition with
the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to
serve a copy of the petition on the
Secretary of Health and Human
Services, who is named as the
respondent in each proceeding. The
Secretary has delegated this
responsibility under the Program to
HRSA. The Court is directed by statute
to appoint special masters who take
evidence, conduct hearings as
appropriate, and make initial decisions
as to eligibility for, and amount of,
compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect
to injuries, disabilities, illnesses,
conditions, and deaths resulting from
vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury
Table (the Table) set forth at Section
2114 of the PHS Act or as set forth at
42 CFR 100.3, as applicable. This Table
lists for each covered childhood vaccine
the conditions which may lead to
compensation and, for each condition,
the time period for occurrence of the
first symptom or manifestation of onset
or of significant aggravation after
vaccine administration. Compensation
may also be awarded for conditions not
listed in the Table and for conditions
that are manifested outside the time
periods specified in the Table, but only
if the petitioner shows that the
condition was caused by one of the
listed vaccines.
Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42
U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that

petitioner either:

2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While
the Secretary of Health and Human Services is named as the respondent
in all proceedings brought by the filing of petitions for compensation
under the Program, the United States Court of Federal Claims is charged
by statute with responsibility for considering and acting upon the
petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the Program in general, contact the Clerk, United
States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Place NW., Washington, DC
20005, (202) 357-6400. For information on HRSA's role in the Program,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault

childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C.
300aa-10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file

named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated
this responsibility under the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by
statute to appoint special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings

A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities,
illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in
the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at Section 2114 of the

awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for conditions that
are manifested outside the time periods specified in the Table, but
only if the petitioner shows that the condition was caused by one of
the listed vaccines.
