Group letter to HHS urging the Sustainability of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)

The letter highlights the strong scientific evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and underscores the role of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in providing no-fault compensation for rare vaccine-related injuries. It emphasizes maintaining rigorous evidentiary standards and established processes for determining covered injuries, warning that adding a large number of conditions without sufficient scientific support could overwhelm the program, delay valid claims, and jeopardize its ability to function effectively and sustain access to vaccines.
