How To Submit a VAERS Report

Anyone can report a vaccine injury: health care providers, case workers, vaccine manufacturers, and vaccine recipients. And per the CDC, vaccine effects can be mild, such as discomfort at the injection site, to severe adverse reactions such as seizures, encephalitis, or even death in some cases.

If you need help about how to report an injury, read the National Vaccine Information Center's article: DIY If Your Doctor Won't Report Vaccine Reactions to VAERS.

Court

The Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, popularly known as "vaccine court", administers a no-fault system for litigating vaccine injury claims. These claims against vaccine manufacturers cannot normally be filed in state or federal civil courts, but instead must be heard in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, sitting without a jury.

  • The vaccine manufacturer does not stand trial, nor do they require representation at the hearing

​

  • Attorney's fees for victims are paid by the vaccine court, which is funded by a special tax on vaccines; the consumer funds the court, not the vaccine manufacturer(s)
     

  • Court cases take years to be heard; so any expenses for injured parties severely burden their caretakers
     

  • Several cases for vaccine-induced autism have been heard and rewarded; Hannah Polling made national headlines when her case was won in 2010
