Britain will pay individuals who suffer any severe side-effect from Covid-19 vaccine under an existing programme, the government said in Thursday.
Compensation for any possible side-effects from a Covid-19 vaccine has been the subject of much debate in recent months, as drugmakers and governments around the world have worked in record time to develop and approve vaccines against the illness which has created havoc worldwide.
Under the scheme, individuals are entitled to a lump sum capped at 120,000 pounds ($161,676) if the can prove to have been seriously disabled as a result of the vaccination.
