Anaphylaxis — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry categorized as Anaphylaxis. There are 36 such cases.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 36 cases categorized as Anaphylaxis since 1995. 13 (36%) ended in compensation, with a median award of $50,000. The median time from petition filing to decision was 23.7 months. The vaccine most frequently named in these petitions was influenza. Figures are computed from the published court decisions indexed on this page; every case links to its original source document. Compensation reflects the court's application of the program's legal standards to an individual claim — it is not a medical or scientific finding about vaccines generally.
