The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program

(CICP) was created so that in the unlikely event you
experience a serious injury from a covered
countermeasure, you may be considered for
benefits.
About CICP
Filing for Benefits
CICP Data

What is a countermeasure?
A countermeasure is a vaccination, medication,
device, or other item recommended to diagnose,
prevent or treat a declared pandemic, epidemic or
security threat. On the rare chance you suffered a
serious injury, or the death of a loved one, from the
administration or use of a covered countermeasure,
you may qualify for benefits.
Federal declarations issued by the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
specify the countermeasures covered by the
Program. Please review the “Covered
Countermeasures” section of a declaration to
determine the types of medical countermeasures
that are covered by the CICP. Declarations have been
issued for medical countermeasures against the
following.
COVID-19
Marburg
Ebola
Nerve Agents and Certain Insecticides
(Organophophorus and/or Carbamate)
Zika
Pandemic Influenza
Anthrax
Acute Radiation Syndrome
Botulinum Toxin
Smallpox
What are the differences between the
Countermeasures Injury Compensation
Program (CICP) and the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (VICP)?
The differences are included in the comparison of
the CICP to the VICP.

Does the CICP cover the seasonal

flu vaccines?
The CICP does not cover seasonal influenza vaccines.
If you received the seasonal influenza vaccine or
other vaccines such as tetanus or the human
papillomavirus vaccine and think that you had an
adverse reaction from one or a combination of these
covered vaccines, contact the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program (VICP).
