By Andrew Kozak
Managers of the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) reported that out of 774 claims received, eight received compensation, 71 were deemed ineligible and 654 are still under review.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Health would not release information on how much has been paid in compensation so far. The program is expected to provide a total of $75 million to claims made by families of those who suffer death or injury from Covid vaccines until 2026.
“Payments for those who have a serious and permanent injury from a vaccine will be retroactive to the date of the injury,” said a June 23 Department of Health briefing note.
“Eligible individuals may receive income replacement indemnities, injury indemnities, death benefits including coverage for funeral expenses and reimbursement of eligible costs such as otherwise uncovered medical expenses.”
The health department has reported 48,670 adverse events including 9878 rated as “serious” out of almost 86 million Covid vaccine doses given to date. Adverse events could include milder symptoms such as headaches or chest pains while serious outcomes could include heart inflammation or facial paralysis.
