A man linked his Neuromyelitis Optica to a Tdap shot, spotlighting the federal vaccine injury program on "60 Minutes."

A client of the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant was featured on CBS’s "60 Minutes" on October 5, 2025, sharing his experience of developing Neuromyelitis Optica after a Tdap vaccine. The segment highlighted the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which provides compensation for rare vaccine-related injuries while maintaining public trust in immunization. Attorney Leah V. Durant, a former DOJ official, praised the national platform for raising awareness about the program, which her firm has used to represent hundreds in cases involving injuries like Guillain-Barré Syndrome and shoulder damage.
