The Covid-19 Vaccine Damage Payments Bill would require the government to provide financial help to people who become disabled after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine, and to the families of people who die soon after vaccination. It also asks Parliament to consider and report on the merits of a no-fault compensation scheme for such payments, including whether there should be an upper limit, who would be eligible, and whether payments should be paid in all cases where no other reasonable cause is found.
The bill is currently at the second reading stage in the House of Commons. It has previously had its first reading in 2022 and the second reading in 2023, and would move on to further scrutiny if it progresses.
