Misalignment between evidence and the vaccine compensation scheme
This report shows that the Australian Government is not providing a meaningful COVID-19 vaccine compensation scheme, and is not currently accountable for the empirical range of serious adverse events including disabilities caused by COVID-19 vaccines. We call for an immediate review of the COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme to ensure it encompasses protection from injury by serious adverse events in a way that is comprehensive, equity-driven, genuinely accessible, and evidence-led.
