Vaccine Injury Table
About Vaccine Injury Table
The Vaccine Injury Table lists conditions presumed to be caused by specific vaccines for compensation purposes under the VICP. The table was created in 1988 and has been updated multiple times. Current table entries include anaphylaxis, encephalopathy after certain vaccines, intussusception after rotavirus vaccine, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, and vasovagal syncope, each with a defined time window after vaccination. Petitions for conditions not on the table require expert testimony and scientific evidence. The Omnibus Autism Proceedings tested whether autism should be added to the table. The special masters concluded that the scientific evidence did not support adding autism. The table balances the interests of vaccine recipients, who receive streamlined compensation for table injuries, and the government, which avoids excessive claims.
