Dysautonomia / POTS — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry categorized as Dysautonomia / POTS. There are 78 such cases.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 78 cases categorized as Dysautonomia / POTS since 2011. 5 (6%) ended in compensation. The median time from petition filing to decision was 26.5 months. The vaccine most frequently named in these petitions was HPV. 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.
