The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program doesn’t seem to prevent you from going through a regular court. From your link

> The special master's decision may be appealed and petitioners who reject the decision of the court (or withdraw their petitions within certain timelines) may file a claim in civil court against the vaccine company and/or the health care provider who administered the vaccine.

The FAQs make it seem like it's not as straightforward.

"Most of the time, you must first file and have your claim processed with the VICP before a civil lawsuit can be filed against the vaccine company or the person who gave the vaccine"
