* * *  Legislation - HR 1287  * * *




If you believe you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a vaccination, there is pending legislation that may affect your rights. HR 1287 (The Vaccine Injured Children's Compensation Act) is a bi-partisan bill introduced by Congressman Dave Weldon (R-FL) and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). Co-sponsors include Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), Rep. Steve Horn (R-CA), Rep. Karen McCarthy (D-MO), and Rep. Jim Turner (D-TX). This bill is intended to help families who are seeking Program compensation for children injured by vaccines. The most important part of the bill extends the time for filing program claims and adds a "discovery rule" to help parents who are just learning about the possible connection between vaccines and their child's medical problems. This aspect of the bill corrects an unintended feature of the original act which effectively makes it more difficult for children to recover in the program than under the law of their own state. Please support HR 1287 by calling or writing your representative in Washington. You may call 202-224-3121 and ask for your member of Congress.
