Petition

Review the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme

Closed 4,140 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the Government to review the current Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, as we believe it is not supporting those affected, is inefficient, out-dated, and is compounding harm.
As of 25 September 2024, 15,804 claims have been received by the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme relating to ill-effects from Covid-19 vaccinations. Of these, only 188 have been awarded a Vaccine Damage Payment. We believe that to rebuild trust from the general public, there needs to be a more effective, compassionate means of support for those adversely affected by vaccination. We believe it is time for change, and the UK needs a vaccine injury scheme of which it can be proud.
