Developmental delay / regression — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry categorized as Developmental delay / regression. There are 43 such cases.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 43 cases categorized as Developmental delay / regression since 1991. 9 (21%) ended in compensation. The median time from petition filing to decision was 29.4 months. The vaccine most frequently named in these petitions was DTaP. 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.
