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, National Vaccine 
Injury Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 8W-25A, Rockville, 
Maryland 20857; 1-800-338-2382, or visit our website at: http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/index.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault 
compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified 
childhood 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 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

[[Page 86660]]

childhood 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 October 1, 2023, through October 
31, 2023. 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 three (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, 8W-25A, 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.

Carole Johnson,
Administrator.
