Hib — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry where the alleged injury is connected to the Hib vaccine. There are 107 such cases on file: 36 compensated, 29 deaths, total compensation $19,076,782.7.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 107 cases naming the Hib vaccine since 1996. 36 (34%) ended in compensation, with a median award of $151,698. The median time from petition filing to decision was 35.0 months. The condition category appearing most often in these petitions was Other / multiple. 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.
