Washington says victims of the 1976 swine flu shot program with Guillain Barré need not prove negligence to receive federal compensation. Roughly one third of 1,453 claims totaling about 775 million are affected, with 439 cases seeking 38 million involving the paralyzing disease. About 535 of the estimated 4 million vaccine recipients contracted Guillain Barré.
