What is the amount of an award under the VICP?
Awards to the estate in a vaccine-related death are limited to $250,000 plus attorney’s fees and costs. Awards to individuals with an injury judged to be vaccine-related have averaged $824,463 although this amount typically represents the cost of an annuity that pays out significantly more over the life of the petitioner. There is no limitation as such on the amount of an award in a vaccine-related injury; however, the law does contain certain restrictions.
