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 United States Court of Federal
Claims and to serve a copy of the
petition to the Secretary of HHS, 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 42 CFR
100.3. This Table lists for each covered
childhood vaccine the conditions that
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
‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary
receives service of any petition filed
under section 2111 the Secretary shall
publish notice of such petition in the
Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on

January 1, 2024, through January 31,
2024. This list provides the name of the
petitioner, city, and state of vaccination
(if unknown then the city and state of
the person or attorney filing the claim),
and case number. In cases where the
Court has redacted the name of a
petitioner and/or the case number, the
list reflects such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that
the special master ‘‘shall afford all
interested persons an opportunity to
submit relevant, written information’’
relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that
there is not a preponderance of the
evidence that the illness, disability,
injury, condition, or death described in
the petition is due to factors unrelated
to the administration of the vaccine
described in the petition,’’ and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the
petitioner either:
a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition not set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table but which was
caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred
to in the Table, or
b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom
or manifestation of the onset or
significant aggravation of which did not
occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a
vaccine’’ referred to in the Table.
In accordance with section 2112(b)(2),
all interested persons may submit
written information relevant to the
issues described above in the case of the
petitions listed below. Any person
choosing to do so should file an original
and three (3) copies of the information
with the Clerk of the United States
Court of Federal Claims at the address
listed above (under the heading FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), with a
copy to HRSA addressed to Director,

Purpose: The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), with
support from relevant health-related
U.S. Government offices, is charged
with leading U.S. participation in the
Working Group on the Amendments to
the International Health Regulations
(2005) (WGIHR) and with co-leading the
U.S. delegation to the Intergovernmental
Negotiating Body to draft and negotiate
a WHO convention, agreement or other
international instrument on pandemic
prevention, preparedness and response
(INB). HHS will convene an informal
Stakeholder Listening Session.
The Stakeholder Listening Session is
designed to seek input from
stakeholders and subject matter experts
to help inform U.S. Government
engagement with the WGIHR and INB.
Background, WGIHR: The World
Health Assembly originally adopted the
International Health Regulations (IHR)
in 1969. The regulations were amended
multiple times, most recently in 2005.
The purpose of IHR is to prevent,
protect against, control, and provide
public health response to the
international spread of disease.
Member States of the World Health
Organization (WHO) agreed in 2022 to
embark on a process to amend the
current IHR. The process builds on
lessons learned from the various review
panels that examined the functioning of
the IHR and the global health security
architecture during the COVID–19
pandemic. The Working Group on the
Amendments to the IHR (WGIHR) is
considering more than 300 proposed
amendments to 33 of the 66 articles of
the IHR and 5 of its 9 annexes, plus 6
new articles and 2 new annexes. More
information on the WGIHR can be found
here: https://www.who.int/teams/ihr/
working-group-on-amendments-to-theinternational-health-regulations%282005%29.
The WGIHR currently intends to
submit its outcome to the Seventyseventh World Health Assembly in May
2024.
Background, INB: In December 2021,
WHO Member States decided at a
Special Session of the World Health
Assembly to establish an
intergovernmental negotiating body
(INB), representing all regions of the
world, to draft and negotiate a WHO
convention, agreement, or other
international instrument on pandemic
prevention, preparedness, and response.
More information about the INB process
can be found here: https://inb.who.int/
home/inb-process.
The INB currently intends to submit
its outcome to the Seventy-seventh
World Health Assembly in May 2024.

The United States has expressed
support for the development of an
international instrument to protect the
world from pandemic health threats
now and in the future, and in a more
rapid and equitable manner.
The United States is seeking the
following key outcomes in the
negotiations:
• Enhance the capacity of countries
around the world to prevent, prepare
for, and respond to pandemic
emergencies and provide clear, credible,
consistent information to their citizens.
• Ensure that all countries share data
and laboratory samples from emerging
outbreaks quickly, safely, and
transparently to facilitate response
efforts and inform public health
decision making regarding effective
disease control measures, including the
rapid creation of safe and effective
vaccines, diagnostic tests, and
treatments.
• Support more equitable and timely
access to, and delivery of, vaccines,
diagnostic tests, treatments, and other
mitigation measures to quickly contain
outbreaks, reduce illness and death, and
minimize impacts on the economic and
national security of people around the
world.
Matters to be Discussed: The listening
session will discuss the outcome
products of the WGIHR and INB to be
submitted to the Seventy-seventh World
Health Assembly in May. Topics will
include those amendments currently
under consideration by the WGIHR;
areas of consideration included in the
Pandemic Accord; and key proposals
that highlight the intersection between
the IHR and the Pandemic Accord. An
Article-by-Article Compilation of
Proposed Amendments to the
International Health Regulations (2005)
can be found here: https://apps.who.int/
gb/wgihr/pdf_files/wgihr1/WGIHR_
Compilation-en.pdf. More information
on the Pandemic Accord can be found
here: https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/
index.html.
Participation is welcome from
stakeholder communities, including:
• Public health and advocacy groups
• State, local, and Tribal groups
• Private industry
• Minority health organizations
• Academic and scientific
organizations, etc.
RSVP: Persons seeking to participate
in the listening session must register by
Friday, April 5, 2024.
Registrants must include their full
name, email address, and organization,
if any, and indicate whether they are

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 42 CFR 100.3. This
Table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions that 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 ``[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service
of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish
notice of such petition in the Federal Register.'' Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on January 1, 2024, through January
31, 2024. This list provides the name of the petitioner, city, and
state of vaccination (if unknown then the city and state of the person
or attorney filing the claim), and case number. In cases where the
Court has redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the
list reflects such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ``shall
afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant,
written information'' relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ``that there is not a preponderance of
the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death
described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the
administration of the vaccine described in the petition,'' and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either:
a. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury
Table but which was caused by'' one of the vaccines referred to in the
Table, or
b. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table
the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant
aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a vaccine'' referred to in the Table.
In accordance with section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to the issues described above in
the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so
should file an original and three (3) copies of the information with
the Clerk of the United States Court of Federal Claims at the address
listed above (under the heading For Further Information Contact), with
a copy to HRSA addressed to Director,

paperwork reduction, does not apply to information required for
