Liability and maternal immunization: in utero injury claims in the VICP
چکیده انگلیسی

Generally, under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Vaccine Act), vaccine administrators and manufacturers are shielded from medical malpractice or products liability actions stemming from vaccine-related injuries and deaths. That said, as generous as these protections may be, they have boundaries, some of which are clear and others of which are unsettled. This is particularly so for in utero injuries stemming from immunization of pregnant women. The issue of whether in utero injuries are afforded such protections, vis á vis compensation by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) under the Vaccine Act, has not definitively been resolved by the courts. Short of a decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or a statutory amendment by Congress specifically addressing this issue, the uncertainty remains.
