Shingles — VICP cases

This page indexes every case in the VICP Registry where the alleged injury is connected to the Shingles vaccine. There are 14 such cases on file: 2 compensated, 0 deaths, total compensation $195,160.36.

What the record shows: The VICP has decided 14 cases naming the Shingles vaccine since 2013. 2 (14%) ended in compensation. 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.
