This bill would require the government to provide financial help to people who became disabled after Covid-19 vaccination and to the families of those who died shortly after vaccination. It also asks Parliament to consider a no-fault compensation scheme for such assistance, including potential caps, eligibility rules, and whether payments should be made in all cases where no other reasonable cause is found for the harm.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would go through further stages (committee, report) and would also need consideration by the Lords to become law.
