Event Description
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) provides a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury claims. In this session, Dr. Dorit Rubinstein Reiss will explore the program’s origins, structure, and role in maintaining public confidence in vaccination. Participants will gain insight into why no-fault systems are used for compensating vaccine harms, how the NVICP operates, and the ongoing discussions about proposed reforms and their potential implications for the program’s effectiveness and fairness.
