Vaccine Act

The Vaccine Act, officially known as the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, is a U.S. law designed to ensure vaccine safety and provide compensation to individuals who suffer severe side effects from vaccinations. It established a no-fault compensation program, allowing those harmed by vaccines to file claims without proving negligence. The act aims to protect vaccine manufacturers from excessive lawsuits, encouraging the development and availability of vaccines. It also supports vaccine safety research and education to reassure the public about the benefits and risks associated with vaccinations.
