How Does CICP Differ from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)?
While both the CICP and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) aim to compensate individuals for vaccine-related injuries, there are key differences. The VICP specifically covers vaccines routinely recommended for children and pregnant women, whereas the CICP covers countermeasures used during public health emergencies. The claim processes, eligibility criteria, and types of compensation also differ between the two programs.
