The federal government has outlined procedures for federal employees to be compensated for any injuries they receive as a result of getting Covid-19 vaccines under President Biden’s mandate.
According to a bulletin issued by the Federal Employees’ Compensation Program under the Department of Labor, vaccine injuries are not usually covered under the federal program. However, because of the unprecedented step of the Covid-19 vaccines being required by executive order, the bulletin says an exception will be made.
The bulletin is the first tacit, official admission by the federal government that injury claims for Covid-19 vaccine are expected.
It’s unclear whether private employers and contractors who require vaccination under the mandate will be liable for vaccine injuries among their employees.
All vaccines and other medicine have side effects. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say the Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective for all populations they are approved for.
The government has not, to date, allowed an exception to the vaccine mandate for natural immunity among federal employees, even though a growing body of scientific studies indicates natural immunity after Covid-19 infection is superior to that provided by the vaccines. While public health officials have begun acknowledging the existence of natural immunity, some of them, including CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contradict the majority of the studies by claiming immunity is further improved in the naturally-immune by getting vaccinated.
As such, employees impacted by this mandate who receive required COVID-19 vaccinations on or after the date of the executive order may be afforded coverage under the FECA for any adverse reactions to the vaccine itself, and for any injuries sustained while obtaining the vaccination.

FECA BULLETIN NO. 22-01 October 1, 2021
Subject: Coverage for Injuries Resulting from the COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate for Federal Employees.
Background: On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccination for most Federal employees. The order directed each agency to implement a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its employees, with exceptions only as required by law.
The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) covers injuries that occur in the performance of duty. The FECA does not generally authorize provision of preventive measures such as vaccines and inoculations, and in general, preventive treatment is a responsibility of the employing agency under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7901. However, care can be authorized by OWCP for complications of preventive measures which are provided or sponsored by the agency, such as adverse reaction to prophylactic immunization. See PM 3-0400.7(a).
Further, deleterious effects of medical services furnished by the employing establishment are generally considered to fall within the performance of duty. These services include preventive programs relating to health. See PM 2-0804.19.
However, this executive order now makes COVID-19 vaccination a requirement of most Federal employment. As such, employees impacted by this mandate who receive required COVID-19 vaccinations on or after the date of the executive order may be afforded coverage under the FECA for any adverse reactions to the vaccine itself, and for any injuries sustained while obtaining the vaccination.
Purpose: To provide guidance on coverage for claims for injury on or after September 9, 2021, resulting from receipt of the mandated COVID-19 vaccination for Federal employees.
Applicability: All FECA Program Staff and Other Stakeholders.
Reference: Federal (FECA) Procedure Manual, Part 2 Claims, Chapter 2-0804 Performance of Duty, and Part 3 Medical, Chapter 3-0400 Medical Services and Supplies; 20 CFR § 10.313; Executive Order on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees.
Actions::
1. Because COVID-19 vaccination is a specific event occurring during a single day or work shift, any adverse reactions or injuries should be reported on Form CA-1, Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of Pay / Compensation. Where two vaccinations are required several weeks apart, reactions to each are considered separate claims.
2. When a claim is received for injury due to receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination, the claims examiner should determine if the vaccine was received prior to September 9, 2021. If the vaccination was received prior to this date, coverage is afforded only if the vaccine was administered or sponsored by the employing agency. See PM 2-0804.19.
3. The claims examiner should then confirm that the employee is covered by the September 9, 2021 executive order. The order applies to any executive agency as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105 – agencies that fall under the executive branch of the government (excluding the Government Accountability Office). The order does not apply to employees of the United States Postal Service. If there is any question regarding applicability of the executive order, the claims examiner should query the employing agency. If the employee is not covered by the executive order, coverage is afforded only if the vaccine was administered or sponsored by the employing agency. See PM 2-0804.19.
4. If the employee is covered by the executive order and vaccination was received on or after September 9, 2021, coverage may be afforded for (1) adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination and (2) injuries sustained as the direct result of an employee receiving their mandated vaccination. Examples of such injuries include but are not limited to accidents while commuting a reasonable distance to and from the vaccination site and slip and fall injuries occurring at the vaccination site.
5. The claims examiner should, however, ensure that the employee followed any employing agency policy with respect to obtaining their mandatory vaccination. The executive order directs each agency to implement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its Federal employees.
a. If an employing agency requires employees to receive their mandatory vaccination at specific times and/or at a specific location(s), coverage is only afforded if the employee follows the agency’s vaccination policy.
b. If any employing agency allows employees to obtain their mandatory vaccination at any time or location, coverage is afforded regardless of where or when the employee receives their vaccination, with the only limitation being for that of reasonableness.
6. The executive order requires full vaccination, which is considered to be two shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, also known as Comirnaty, two shots of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, or one shot of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. The order does not cover or mandate booster vaccinations. Should there be any changes regarding approved vaccination brands or mandated vaccination frequencies, the FECA program will publish additional guidance.
Disposition: This bulletin should be retained until incorporated into Chapter 2-0804, Performance of Duty, of the FECA Procedure Manual.

They’re the only people being compensated.
As an ID specialist I agree that antibody levels will be increased in most people given a shot after natural immunization. But the natural immunity includes T-cell immunity to other targets which helps and may make the humoral(antibody) response unnecessary and potentially dangerous with an over vigorous response as we see in vaccine caused myocarditis, pericarditis and other autoimmune conditions.
In May 83% of blood donors had positive antibodies. Biden is forcing people to take unnecessary chances of reaction so he can claim a success when nature infection what likely is ending the epidemic by infecting over 90 % of the population leaving few people left to be victims except in locked down areas. It just may be prolonged in those areas until they also have a vast majority of the population infected giving natural immunity denying the Delta variant new hosts in which to propagate. Such a scenario favors the open society if there are adequate medical facilities with lots of monoclonal antibodies which are being withdrawn irrationally if the intent is to have as many voters survive as possible. If the intent is to kill off a section of the populace then withholding the monoclonal antibodies is Machiavellian and immoral.
I wonder if there have been payouts for vaccine illness, i jury or death by HRSA’s CICP fund
COVID-19 vaccines are covered countermeasures under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), not the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Good luck trying to prove the injury was result of Vax. The pharma co are acknowledging very very few injuries. They are saying all of them are coincidental injuries. Parents suing for injuries from Vax rarely win in court. It’s difficult to prove.

Considering the fact that the military civilian employees were being continually pressured to get the vaccine long before the date of the mandate this is a way to cover their asses while finding few eligible victims.
So you have to take this poison or lose your job but it’s ok, you may be able to get compensated if you jump through some hoops for us. This has been going on with vaccines ever since 1986 when the NVIP was put in place. Thanks, but no thanks.
Financial compensation is good for those who lose pay but very poor compensation for those who die.
Sorry an EO is not a law! The Biden/Harris administration are being tyrants! Congress has already stated that FORCED vaccination is illegal! This is just another way of attempting to usurp the law that protects the people! If certain Federal agencies are being exempted for any reason, shows that the Biden/Harris administration knows full well that they are circumventing the law! Using Big tech and Employers to enforce an illegal action is TREASON under the color of the law! I have had all 6 variants of this virus and survived! I am not going to be given an untested vaccine that failed animal trials! If the Vaccine was safe, then the Federal government should have no objections to a FOIA request on the number of deaths/adverse reactions to the Vax? Yet my request is denied? Things that make you go hmmm. Currently we are being lied to! Those who were forced into taking the Vax after having immunity are the people having the adverse reactions! Also privacy was made into law within a year of the HIV outbreak! This is a kill shot! All who took said shot will be dead in 3 to 5 years. I am tired of the BS Biden/Harris administration has no AUTHORITY to force VACCINATE! Laws are only created by the Legislative Branch and they have already admitted that they can’t make it into a law!
Yet the push continues with deadlines looming. Congress is doing absolutely NOTHING to protect human rights against a forced vaccine. It is coming. The dark winter potato joe promised us.
This process further sets citizens up for vaccine passports and tracking. This is the end game for a virus that has a 99% survival rate assuming that 1% does not involve comorbidities. Think hard people!
