Syncope — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry categorized as Syncope. There are 60 such cases.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 60 cases categorized as Syncope since 2014. 46 (77%) ended in compensation, with a median award of $100,000. The median time from petition filing to decision was 14.0 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.
