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, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is
publishing this notice of petitions received under the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (``the Program''), as required by Section
2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While
the Secretary of Health and Human Services 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 the Clerk, 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 11C-26, Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443-6593.
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 U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of
the petition on the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is
named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated
his 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 Section 2114 of the
PHS Act or as set forth at 42 CFR 100.3, as applicable. This Table
lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions which 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 the Secretary publish in the Federal Register a notice of
each petition filed.
[[Page 20716]]
Set forth below is a list of petitions received by HRSA on July 2,
2008, through September 30, 2008.
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) ``Sustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness,
disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Table but which
was caused by'' one of the vaccines referred to in the Table, or
(b) ``Sustained, 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.
This notice will also serve as the special master's invitation to
all interested persons to 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 U.S. 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 Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, Healthcare Systems
Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 11C-26, Rockville, MD 20857. The
Court's caption (Petitioner's Name v. Secretary of Health and Human
Services) 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.
