Serious side effects of the Hep-A vaccine include a serious allergic reaction, within a few minutes to a few hours of the shot. If this happened to you, you should contact a lawyer about pursuing your rights under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Hepatitis A Claims Filing Deadlines: What are the deadlines for filing hepatitis A claims under the VICP? Individuals found to be injured by the hepatitis A vaccine are eligible for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation (VICP) as of December 1, 2004. This coverage permits individuals who think that they have been injured by this vaccine to file a claim for compensation.

To be eligible for compensation, claims must be filed:

• within 3 years after the first symptom of the vaccine injury; or
• within 2 years of the vaccine-related death and not more than 4 years after the start of the first symptom of the vaccine-related injury from which the death occurred; or
• 2 years from the date the vaccine is covered for injuries or deaths that occurred up to 8 years before the date the vaccine is covered. For example, hepatitis A was covered by the VICP as of December 1, 2004, and claims have to be filed by December 1, 2006 for injuries or deaths that occurred on or after December 1, 1996.

For individuals filing a claim, the appropriate filing deadline is the one above that provides them with the most time to file their injury or death claims. You should consult a lawyer for any questions about the important deadlines and how they apply to the facts of your case.
