The US runs the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVIC), also a no-fault system, where anyone who has received a covered vaccine and believes they have been injured as a result can file a petition and have their claim assessed.
Dr Wood says the process is more conciliatory than the usual adversarial nature of court.
"They have a vaccine injury table, and if your particular condition is listed on that table after that vaccine that's specified and in the right timeframe, then you're entitled to compensation," he says.
The system has paid out more than $US4 billion to roughly 6,430 people since the mid-1980s.
