If you have been injured by a COVID-19 vaccine, did you know the HHS Secretary and US President could help you?
As you will recall, ICAN’s attorneys filed two groundbreaking lawsuits to strike down the provisions of the PREP Act that provide near absolute immunity from liability to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, and that created the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). The CICP is a wholly insufficient, unjust, and mismanaged program that makes a mockery of the term “justice” and only exists to give false hope of compensation. The first case is awaiting a decision from the judge and the second is stayed, pending the decision in the first case.
For those filing in the CICP, over 97% of applicants have received denials. There are, however, two relatively unknown provisions in the regulations that could provide some relief: One provides that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) “may affirm, vacate, or modify the determination in any manner the Secretary deems appropriate” and another allows the President of the United States to direct “further administrative review” (meaning appeals) of an application.
So, if you have been denied CICP benefits for any reason, we encourage you to contact the HHS Secretary and the President—both now and during the next administration—to request further review of your CICP claim!
