Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

The Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a U.S. government initiative designed to provide compensation to individuals who suffer serious injuries as a result of vaccines. Established in 1988, the program aims to ensure that people can receive vaccinations without fear of excessive legal costs or lawsuits. If someone experiences an injury linked to a vaccination, they can file a claim with VICP. The program is funded by a small tax on vaccines, ensuring that those who are injured receive fair compensation while maintaining public trust in vaccination programs.
