    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 6249
    Reading Time:about 97 minutes

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized a rule to modify the Vaccine Injury Table, which relates to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This new rule removes Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and vasovagal syncope from the list of injuries eligible for compensation under the VICP. Some members of the public opposed the change, expressing concerns about safety and potential impacts on liability for vaccine administrators. However, HHS argued that these injuries are often due to improper administration techniques rather than the content of the vaccines themselves, and stated that this change aims to ensure that funds are directed to injuries directly caused by vaccines.

    Simple Explanation

    The government changed the rules about which vaccine-related injuries can get money to help people feel better, taking out two types of injuries because they think they usually happen by mistake when giving the shot, not because of the shot itself.
