Renée Gentry, Esq.|The Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act Explained2 aug1 u 11 min

After years of overwhelming claim denials, limited benefits, virtually no transparency, and no meaningful opportunity for injured individuals to have their cases heard, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) has left thousands of COVID-19 vaccine-injured Americans without a viable path to justice.

In this episode, leading vaccine injury attorney Renée Gentry explains how the proposed Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act (H.R. 9672) would move eligible COVID-19 vaccine injury claims into the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), providing access to an actual court process, attorney representation, broader compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as well as the opportunity to finally have their claims fairly considered.

Renee also addresses who would qualify, the concerns many in the vaccine-injured community have about the legislation, the critical filing deadlines, and why supporters believe Congress must act now.

Renée Gentry is a Distinguished Professorial Lecturer in Law and Director of the Vaccine Injury Litigation Clinic at George Washington University Law School. With more than 25 years of experience, she is one of the nation's leading experts in vaccine injury litigation and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
