The agreement reached Thursday provides more money for people killed, seri­ ously injured and modestly injured by the vaccine, according to Kennedy aides who outlined its provisions. Under the deal. families of people who are killed by the vaccine and die with no dependents would get a lump sum payment of $262,100, an amount based on an existing compensation program for police and firefighters. The estates of those who are killed with dependents could choose the lump sum payment or up to $50,000 per year to make up for the deceased's lost wages. Those payments would continue until the vic­ tim's youngest child reached age 18. Those who are totally and permanently disabled would get up to $50,000 per year for lost wages for the rest of their lives, with no cap. Those who are permanently but not totally disabled, and those with a temporary dis­ ability, would get lost wages up to a maximum of $262,100. Under the Bush plan, people were only paid lost wages after five days of missed work. Under the new agreement, someone who was out of work for at least 10 days would get lost pay for every day.
