Administrators - Can I file in both the CICP and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) as the administrator of the estate of someone who I believe died as the result of a covered countermeasure and vaccine?

Yes. If a deceased injured countermeasure recipient received a vaccine or countermeasure covered under the CICP and also received vaccine covered under the VICP, but you are unsure which vaccine may have caused his/her injury, then you may file in either or both programs. Depending on the circumstances, you may not receive compensation from either or both programs.

The CICP covers several vaccines and countermeasures designated for use during pandemic, epidemic, and security threats. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) covers vaccines that are recommended for routine use.
