Nacionalni Program Naknade Štetnih Posledica Izazvanih Vakcinacijom U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama I Covid 19

Abstract

The United States of America is one of the few countries that has alternative ways of compensation for the harmful consequences caused by the health damage as the con- sequences of vaccination. In this paper, we will discuss the National Vaccine Injury Com- pensation Program (VICP or NVICP) as the oldest and basic method of alternative com- pensation for adverse consequences caused by vaccination, as well as the Countermeas- ures Injury Compensation Program (CICP)) as the official US Covid-19 vaccine compensa- tion program. America is a country that has a very developed vaccination system, and as a result, a lot of experience with other issues that arise related to vaccination. Our goal is to, through an overview of certain issues of these two programs, approach the very concept of an alternative compensation solution, consider the possibility of applying the National Compensation Program for harmful consequences caused by vaccination and for the dam- age caused by vaccines against Covid-19, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both programs and possibly give an idea for the adoption and implementation of such a program even in countries that do not know this concept, especially in the current situation where the issue of mandatory vaccination and the fear of its side effects is very prevalent.
