For what its worth, VICP is funded by an excise tax on each vaccine dose. Compensation is also "no fault", and no party is presumed liable.

In the specific case of the COVID-19 vaccines, they are explicitly NOT covered by VICP, but rather the CICP.

[Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) | Official web site of the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration](https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp)

The article points out that vaccine developers and health care providers are shielded from liability, but I don't see anything about employers.

The Wikipedia page does not clarify either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Injury_Compen...
