Most people who get vaccines have no serious problems. Vaccines, like any medicines, can cause side effects,
but most are very rare and very mild. Some health problems that follow vaccinations are not caused by vaccines.
In very rare cases, a vaccine can cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. In these instances,
the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may provide financial compensation to individuals who
file a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine. Even in cases in which such a finding
is not made, petitioners may receive compensation through a settlement.
