Your Doctor
Dismissed You.
Congress Didn't.
In 1986, Congress passed a law creating a federal program to compensate vaccine injuries — because they're real, documented, and recognized by law. If you or a family member suffered a serious adverse reaction and were told it wasn't related, a connected attorney can evaluate whether you have a viable claim through the federal vaccine injury compensation system — at no cost to you.
Federal Compensation Programs
The Government Built
These Programs For You.
Vaccine injuries aren't a fringe theory — they're a documented legal reality with two active federal compensation programs. Most people injured by vaccines have no idea these programs exist. A connected attorney can navigate them for you.
The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal no-fault program covering flu, MMR, HPV/Gardasil, TDAP, shingles, hepatitis, and other routine vaccines. Over $5 billion has been paid to injured claimants since 1988. You do not need to prove manufacturer negligence.
The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) handles COVID-19 vaccine injury claims. Documented injuries including myocarditis, pericarditis, TTS (thrombosis), and anaphylaxis are covered. Filing deadlines are strict — one year from vaccination. Act now to preserve your claim.
Under the VICP, reasonable attorney fees are paid by the federal government — not by you — even if your claim is unsuccessful. This means legal representation costs you nothing out of pocket regardless of the outcome.
"They created the program because they knew injuries happen. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
Documented Vaccine Injuries
Real. Recognized.
Compensable.
These are peer-reviewed, medically documented, legally recognized vaccine injuries. If you were dismissed by a doctor after experiencing any of these, the law gives you a separate avenue — and a connected attorney can help you pursue it.
SIRVA — Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration
SIRVA occurs when a vaccine is injected too high or too deeply, causing inflammatory injury to the shoulder bursa, tendons, or joint. Symptoms include severe and persistent shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, and limited range of motion beginning within 48 hours of vaccination. SIRVA is one of the most common and successful VICP claims and is recognized across all routine vaccines.
COVID Vaccine Myocarditis & Pericarditis
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the sac around the heart) following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are documented by the CDC, FDA, and peer-reviewed literature — particularly in young males after the second dose. If you or a family member was hospitalized for myocarditis or pericarditis after a COVID vaccine, you may have a CICP claim.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) — Flu Vaccine
GBS — a neurological condition where the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system — is specifically listed on the VICP Vaccine Injury Table for influenza vaccination, meaning causation is legally presumed when GBS develops within six weeks of a flu shot. This is one of the strongest VICP claims available.
J&J / Janssen TTS — Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome
The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was withdrawn after documented cases of TTS — a rare but dangerous blood clotting disorder combined with low platelet counts. The CDC and FDA confirmed TTS as a vaccine-linked adverse event. If you or a family member developed TTS after a J&J vaccine, you may have a CICP claim.
HPV / Gardasil Vaccine Injuries
Gardasil vaccine injury claims have been filed for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), premature ovarian insufficiency, complex regional pain syndrome, and autoimmune conditions in young women. VICP claims for HPV vaccine injuries continue to be filed and litigated.
Anaphylaxis, Vasovagal Syncope & Other Acute Reactions
Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), fainting and injury from vasovagal syncope, and other acute adverse events occurring within hours of vaccination are covered under VICP and CICP. If you required emergency care following a vaccine, a connected attorney can assess whether your claim qualifies.
Eligibility
Your Situation May
Support a Claim
VICP and CICP claims don't require proving the manufacturer did anything wrong — only that the vaccine caused your documented injury. A connected attorney makes the eligibility determination at no cost.
You received a covered vaccine and developed a serious adverse reaction
Flu, COVID-19, HPV/Gardasil, MMR, TDAP, shingles, hepatitis, and other routine vaccines are covered. The injury must be documented in medical records and have required treatment or caused lasting harm.
Your doctor dismissed the connection — but medical records document the injury
A physician's skepticism does not close your legal options. What matters is whether your documented medical history supports a temporal and causal connection between the vaccine and your injury. A connected attorney will assess your records.
You or a family member was hospitalized after a vaccine
Hospitalization following a vaccine — for myocarditis, GBS, TTS, anaphylaxis, or any other serious adverse event — is strong documentation supporting a VICP or CICP claim. The level of care received directly affects potential compensation.
You developed chronic shoulder pain or immobility after a vaccine injection
SIRVA is extremely common and consistently succeeds in VICP proceedings. If your shoulder pain began within 48 hours of a vaccination and has persisted for weeks or months, you may have a strong SIRVA claim regardless of which vaccine caused it.
You developed neurological symptoms following vaccination
GBS, POTS, tremors, facial palsy, and other neurological conditions following vaccination are the basis of active VICP claims. Symptom onset timing relative to vaccination is a key factor a connected attorney will evaluate.
Your injury or reaction occurred within the past one to three years
VICP has a three-year deadline from first symptom onset. CICP has a strict one-year deadline from vaccination. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim. A connected attorney can assess your exact timeline at no cost.
How It Works
The System Exists.
Let Us Navigate It.
VICP and CICP claims have specific procedures, deadlines, and documentation requirements that most people don't know about. A connected attorney handles every step — at zero upfront cost under the VICP's attorney fee structure.
Free Case Evaluation
A connected attorney reviews your vaccine history, injury timeline, and medical records to determine whether a VICP or CICP claim is viable and which program applies to your situation.
Medical Records & Expert Review
Vaccination records, hospital records, treating physician notes, and medical expert testimony are assembled to document the causal relationship between the vaccine and your injury.
Filing with the Federal Program
Your claim is formally filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (VICP) or HHS (CICP). The government's attorneys review and respond. Deadlines are critical — acting now preserves your options.
Compensation
VICP awards compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and attorney fees. Under VICP, attorney fees are paid by the federal government — not by you — regardless of outcome.
From Those Who Filed
Their Words
"My shoulder never recovered after a flu shot. Three doctors told me it was unrelated. My VICP attorney found SIRVA in my imaging and filed within the deadline. I had no idea this program existed."
"My 19-year-old son was hospitalized with myocarditis five days after his second COVID vaccine. Every doctor said it was coincidental. The CICP claim process was something we had to find on our own."
"I developed GBS six weeks after my flu shot. I couldn't walk for two months. My neurologist mentioned the VICP in passing — I didn't realize I had a legal option until I looked it up and found this site."
