The Department of Health and Human Services is preparing a rule that would let the agency compile a list of specific injuries it will presume were caused by COVID-19 vaccines. The list would be used to process compensation claims from people who say they were injured by the shots.
Officials have not released details on which injuries would be included or how the list would be maintained. Current federal programs already provide a route for vaccine injury claims, but the new approach would shift the burden of proof for listed conditions.
Under the current system, claimants must demonstrate that an injury was caused by the vaccine. The proposed rule would replace that requirement for any condition added to the new list. No timeline for finalizing the rule has been announced.
