The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has issued a notice regarding the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This program provides compensation to individuals who suffered injuries from certain childhood vaccines. Petitions for compensation must be filed with the United States Court of Federal Claims, which then appoints special masters to evaluate these cases. The notice lists petitions received by HRSA in January 2021, providing details about each case, including the names of the petitioners and the cities where vaccines were administered.
Simple Explanation
The government has a program that helps people who get sick from certain vaccines by giving them money. They have a process where people ask for this help, and the courts look at these requests to decide if they should get the money.
