Filing a Claim with the VICP

First, a claim must be filed by or on the behalf of the individual thought to be injured by a vaccine covered by the VICP.

Anyone who files a clhttp://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/filing_claim.htmaim is called a petitioner. The only form required is the Court’s cover sheet for the claim. You may obtain a copy of the cover sheet and a sample claim by calling (202) 357-6400. Your claim should address the following information:

• who was injured by the vaccine;
• which vaccine caused the injury;
• when the vaccine was given;
• the city and State or country where the vaccine was given;
• the type of injury;
• when the first symptom of the injury appeared; and
• how long the effects of the injury lasted.

Your claim should also include your medical records and/or other appropriate documents, the Court’s cover sheet, and the $250.00 filing fee. If you are unable to pay this fee, call (202) 357-6400 for assistance. The original claim and two copies plus a $250.00 filing fee should be sent to:
