| | HRSA - Smallpox Vaccine Injury Compensation Program |
 | | To be considered for program benefits, requesters (i.e., smallpox vaccine recipients, vaccinia contacts, survivors, or the representatives of the estates of deceased smallpox vaccine recipients or vaccinia contacts), or persons filing on their behalf as their representatives, must file a Request Form and the documentation required under this regulation to show that they are eligible. |
 | | The SEPPA imposes specific restrictions as to which persons who have contracted vaccinia from another person may be eligible for benefits under this program. |
 | | Under the SEPPA, the program cannot pay for the first five days of lost employment income resulting from a covered injury or its health complications, unless the injured individual lost employment income for 10 or more work days (in which case, all of the lost work days will be included in the calculation). |
