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.

Program, contact the Director, National 

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,

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 

July 1, 2021, through July 31, 2021. This 

list provides the name of petitioner, city 

and state of vaccination (if unknown 

then city and state of person or attorney 

filing 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,

Medicare-approved facilities that meet CMS' minimum facility standards

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, Healthcare Systems Bureau,

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.
