Message from Chief Judge Kaplan

I am honored and humbled that the President has designated me to serve as Chief Judge of the Court of Federal Claims. I want to thank Judge Roumel for her outstanding service as Chief through a very challenging period of time and for her friendship and support.

The Vaccine Program, as it is colloquially known, came into existence more than 30 years ago after an Act of Congress, and seeks to provide an expedited and fair means of adjudicating claims that a vaccine has caused an injury. Like the Court of Federal Claims itself, we at “OSM” are always mindful of our role as a tribunal that exists to permit citizens to bring claims against the United States. In the effort to ensure that all Vaccine Act claims receive fair consideration, we ultimately seek to serve the petitioners who bring these claims.
