As of April 1st 2023, new data provided by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), has reported that over 500 vaccine injury petitions have been filed in the fiscal year of 2023. This is on pace to have over 1000 vaccine injury petitions filed this year, which is in line with previous fiscal years.
It is worth noting that for vaccine injury claims to be filed and considered for compensation, the VICP has set certain vaccine injury severity requirements. An adverse reaction to vaccine administration (more commonly referred to as a vaccine injury), must last for more than six months or result in inpatient hospitalization, surgical intervention or death to be considered for compensation in the VICP.
