Vaccine court
The VICP covers all vaccines listed on the Vaccine Injury Table maintained by the Secretary of Health and Human Services; in 2007 the list included vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps, rubella (German measles), polio, hepatitis B, varicella (chicken pox), "Haemophilus influenzae" type b, rotavirus, and pneumonia. From 1988 until 8 January 2008, 5,263 claims relating to autism, and 2,865 non-autism claims, were made to the VICP. 925 of these claims, one autism-related (see previous rulings), were compensated, with 1,158 non-autism and 350 autism claims dismissed; awards (including attorney's fees) totaled $847 million. The VICP also applies to claims for injuries suffered before 1988; there were 4,264 of these claims of which 1,189 were compensated with awards totaling $903 million.
Capripoxvirus
Animals produce a lifelong immunity to all Capripoxvirus strains if they recover from the viral infection. The Kenyan sheeppox and goatpox vaccines, produced by an intermediate strain, can also be used to generate immunity. The effects of the vaccine are generally long-lasting because Capripoxviruses have a single serotype. Prevention of an outbreak currently require the slaughter of infected and in-contact animals. However, eradication of Capripoxviruses can be achieved through vaccination and strict movement control of animal populations.
