DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program; List of Petitions
Received
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA is publishing this notice of petitions received under the
National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the Program), as required
by the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While the Secretary
of HHS is named as the respondent in all proceedings brought by the
filing of petitions for compensation under the Program, the United
States Court of Federal Claims is charged by statute with
responsibility for considering and acting upon the petitions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for
filing petitions, and the Program in general, contact Lisa L. Reyes,
Clerk of Court, United States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison
Place NW, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357-6400. For information on
HRSA's role in the Program, contact the Director, Division of Injury
Compensation Programs, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14W-18, Rockville,
Maryland 20857; 1-800-338-2382, or visit our website at: https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault
compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specific
vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa-10 et
seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file a petition
with the United States Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of
the petition to the Secretary of HHS, who is named as the respondent in
each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under
the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint
special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as appropriate, and
make initial decisions
[[Page 8892]]
as to eligibility for, and amount of, compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities,
illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in
the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at 42 CFR 100.3. This
Table lists for each covered vaccine the conditions that may lead to
compensation and, for each condition, the time period for occurrence of
the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of significant
aggravation after vaccine administration. Compensation may also be
awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for conditions that
are manifested outside the time periods specified in the Table, but
only if the petitioner shows that the condition was caused by one of
the listed vaccines.
Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa-12(b)(2),
requires that ``[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service
of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish
notice of such petition in the Federal Register.'' Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on January 1, 2026, through January
31, 2026. This list provides the name of the petitioner, city, and
state of vaccination (if unknown then the city and state of the person
or attorney filing the claim), and case number. In cases where the
Court has redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the
list reflects such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ``shall
afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant,
written information'' relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ``that there is not a preponderance of
the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death
described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the
administration of the vaccine described in the petition,'' and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either:
a. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury
Table but which was caused by'' one of the vaccines referred to in the
Table, or
b. ``[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table
the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant
aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a vaccine'' referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to the issues described above in
the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so
should file an original and 3 copies of the information with the Clerk
of the United States Court of Federal Claims at the address listed
above (under the heading For Further Information Contact), with a copy
to HRSA addressed to Director, Division of Injury Compensation
Programs, Health Systems Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, 14W-18, Rockville,
Maryland 20857. The Court's caption (Petitioner's Name v. Secretary of
HHS) and the docket number assigned to the petition should be used as
the caption for the written submission. Chapter 35 of Title 44, United
States Code, related to paperwork reduction, does not apply to
information required for purposes of carrying out the Program.
Thomas J. Engels,
Administrator.
