National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act
If your child is injured as a result of a vaccination, there is a program to compensate you for this injury. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was established in 1988 as a no-fault alternative to a lawsuit for children who were possibly injured by vaccines.
This implies that submitting and settling a VICP claim is as simple as submitting a claim with your automobile insurance company.
Far,
FAR from it.

You Must Give Permission
This website information is no substitute for talking with your child's doctor and reading the vaccine information sheet that should accompany the permission form. Make certain you understand the benefits and risks before you sign the permission form. The Centers for Disease Control has written specific parent information sheets for each vaccine. Your child's clinic should provide a copy of these to you before you give your permission for vaccination.
Um, no. Your clinic IS REQUIRED BY LAW to give you a VIS before each and every dose . . . at every visit.

Fact or Fiction
From the Internet, magazines, or your friends, you may hear stories of children who were immunized and then developed some negative effect. As a pediatrician, I don't doubt that such events have occurred; however, it has been very difficult for scientists and physicians to link immunizations with many of these events as cause and effect.
Oh no, because of course people don't have access to reputable information such as VICP court case decisions and civil lawsuits and safety trials. They need to rely on "stories."
