Last week, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report titled, COVID-19: Information on HHS’s Medical Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program:

To encourage the development of medical countermeasures, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act limited the legal liability of manufacturers and others for losses related to the administration or use of covered countermeasures. It also authorized HHS to establish the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) to compensate individuals who die or suffer serious physical injuries directly caused by the administration or use of certain medical countermeasures. CICP is operated by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)—an agency within HHS.

The program:

• “Received a surge of 13,333 COVID-19 claims—27 times the number of claims received in the first decade of the program”:

• “Completed a review of about a fourth of all claims.”
• “Found that 92 (3%) of the completed claims were eligible for compensation.”
