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 08W–25A, 

Rockville, Maryland 20857; (301) 443– 

6593, or visit our website at: http://

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 

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 

January 1, 2024, through January 31, 

2024. 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,

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Stakeholder Listening Session on 

Public Health Emergencies 

Preparedness and Response 

Negotiations 

AGENCY: Office of Global Affairs, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Notice of public listening 

session; request for comments. 

DATES: The listening session will be 

held Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 

10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern 

Daylight Time. This session is open to 

the public but requires RSVP to 

oga.rsvp@hhs.gov by Friday, April 5, 

2024. See RSVP section in 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for details. 

ADDRESSES: The session will be held 

virtually, with online and dial-in 

information shared with registered 

participants. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose: The U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), with 

support from relevant health-related 

U.S. Government offices, is charged 

with leading U.S. participation in the 

Working Group on the Amendments to 

the International Health Regulations 

(2005) (WGIHR) and with co-leading the 

U.S. delegation to the Intergovernmental 

Negotiating Body to draft and negotiate 

a WHO convention, agreement or other 

international instrument on pandemic 

prevention, preparedness and response 

(INB). HHS will convene an informal 

Stakeholder Listening Session. 

The Stakeholder Listening Session is 

designed to seek input from 

stakeholders and subject matter experts 

to help inform U.S. Government 

engagement with the WGIHR and INB. 

Background, WGIHR: The World 

Health Assembly originally adopted the 

International Health Regulations (IHR) 

in 1969. The regulations were amended 

multiple times, most recently in 2005. 

The purpose of IHR is to prevent, 

protect against, control, and provide 

public health response to the 

international spread of disease. 

Member States of the World Health 

Organization (WHO) agreed in 2022 to 

embark on a process to amend the 

current IHR. The process builds on 

lessons learned from the various review 

panels that examined the functioning of 

the IHR and the global health security 

architecture during the COVID–19 

pandemic. The Working Group on the 

Amendments to the IHR (WGIHR) is 

considering more than 300 proposed 

amendments to 33 of the 66 articles of 

the IHR and 5 of its 9 annexes, plus 6 

new articles and 2 new annexes. More 

information on the WGIHR can be found 

here: https://www.who.int/teams/ihr/ 

working-group-on-amendments-to-theinternational-health-regulations- 

%282005%29. 

The WGIHR currently intends to 

submit its outcome to the Seventyseventh World Health Assembly in May 

2024. 

Background, INB: In December 2021, 

WHO Member States decided at a 

Special Session of the World Health 

Assembly to establish an 

intergovernmental negotiating body 

(INB), representing all regions of the 

world, to draft and negotiate a WHO 

convention, agreement, or other 

international instrument on pandemic 

prevention, preparedness, and response. 

More information about the INB process 

can be found here: https://inb.who.int/ 

home/inb-process. 

The INB currently intends to submit 

its outcome to the Seventy-seventh 

World Health Assembly in May 2024. 

The United States has expressed 

support for the development of an 

international instrument to protect the 

world from pandemic health threats 

now and in the future, and in a more 

rapid and equitable manner. 

The United States is seeking the 

following key outcomes in the 

negotiations: 

• Enhance the capacity of countries 

around the world to prevent, prepare 

for, and respond to pandemic 

emergencies and provide clear, credible, 

consistent information to their citizens. 

• Ensure that all countries share data 

and laboratory samples from emerging 

outbreaks quickly, safely, and 

transparently to facilitate response 

efforts and inform public health 

decision making regarding effective 

disease control measures, including the 

rapid creation of safe and effective 

vaccines, diagnostic tests, and 

treatments. 

• Support more equitable and timely 

access to, and delivery of, vaccines, 

diagnostic tests, treatments, and other 

mitigation measures to quickly contain 

outbreaks, reduce illness and death, and 

minimize impacts on the economic and 

national security of people around the 

world. 

Matters to be Discussed: The listening 

session will discuss the outcome 

products of the WGIHR and INB to be 

submitted to the Seventy-seventh World 

Health Assembly in May. Topics will 

include those amendments currently 

under consideration by the WGIHR; 

areas of consideration included in the 

Pandemic Accord; and key proposals 

that highlight the intersection between 

the IHR and the Pandemic Accord. An 

Article-by-Article Compilation of 

Proposed Amendments to the 

International Health Regulations (2005) 

can be found here: https://apps.who.int/ 

gb/wgihr/pdf_files/wgihr1/WGIHR_

Compilation-en.pdf. More information 

on the Pandemic Accord can be found 

here: https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/

Participation is welcome from 

stakeholder communities, including: 

• Public health and advocacy groups 

• State, local, and Tribal groups 

• Private industry 

• Minority health organizations 

• Academic and scientific 

organizations, etc.
