On October 5, 2025, CBS News released the transcript of their 60 Minutes segment about the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), often called “Vaccine Court.” The report highlighted families who suffered rare but serious vaccine injuries and turned to this federal program for help.

Created by Congress in 1986, the VICP provides a no fault way for individuals to seek compensation when vaccines cause harm. Cases are decided by special masters in Washington, D.C., and billions have been paid out to those affected.

60 Minutes highlighted the fact that individuals making vaccine injury claims are not anti-vaccine. The claims are about accountability and fairness for those harmed by a public health measure. When a respected national program like 60 Minutes covers a topic, it signals that this is a significant and timely issue deserving public attention.
