Supporting Vaccine Advocacy Through Legal Expertise
Partner with Massa Butler Giglione & Dirlam
Your Nationwide Resource for Vaccine Injury Claims Through the VICP
Based in Pittsburgh, PA, Massa Butler Giglione & Dirlam supports pharmacies and nonprofit organizations across the United States. We provide legal expertise for vaccine injury claims through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Vaccines can play a vital role in protecting the health of individuals, families, and communities. They can help to eliminate deadly diseases and reduce the prevalence of seasonal illnesses, while supporting public health initiatives and community well-being. Pharmacists and vaccine advocacy organizations are at the forefront of these efforts, ensuring safe and effective immunization practices and building public trust. Occasionally, however, patients can suffer adverse reactions to vaccinations, resulting in vaccine-related injuries that require specialized legal guidance and support.
At Massa Butler Giglione & Dirlam, we support pharmacies and nonprofit organizations across the United States, providing legal expertise for vaccine injury claims through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
What Is the VICP?
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 created the VICP as a federal program focused on compensating individuals who experience vaccine injuries. The VICP covers a wide range of vaccines,[1] including MMR, rotavirus, and seasonal influenza. It does not currently cover COVID-19 vaccine injuries, which are managed separately. Because the VICP is a federal program, our attorneys can file claims for clients in any state. Location does not limit access to compensation. Some of the more common injuries eligible for compensation under the VICP include:
- Anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine
- Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), resulting in pain or limited mobility
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a neurological complication
- Encephalopathy, which is acute brain dysfunction following vaccination
- Intussusception, a form of intestinal blockage
