National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: Revisions to the Vaccine Injury Table
The Secretary finalizes the proposed rule to amend the Vaccine Injury Table (Table) by regulation. This final rule will have effect only for petitions for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) filed after this final rule become effective. This final rule does not impact COVID-19 vaccines or PREP Act immunity for Covered Persons (as defined in the PREP Act) who manufacture, distribute, order, or administer COVID-19 vaccines.
Securing Updated and Necessary Statutory Evaluations Timely
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires agencies to publish plans to conduct periodic reviews of certain of their regulations. Multiple Executive Orders also require agencies to submit plans for periodic reviews of certain regulations. To further comply with the RFA and Executive Orders, and to ensure the Department's regulations have appropriate impacts, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or the Department) issues this final rule amending its regulations to set expiration dates for the Department's regulations (subject to certain exceptions), unless the Department periodically assesses the regulations to determine if they are subject to the RFA, and if they are, performs a review that satisfies the criteria in the RFA.
