Can I bring a medical malpractice claim if my doctor negligently administered a vaccine?
Yes. You must file a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) and go through at least part of the NVICP adjudicatory process. If you go to the final adjudication of the claim in the program and receive an award, you must turn down any compensation awarded. Only then are you are permitted to pursue a medical malpractice claim stemming from the administration of a vaccine.
