Vaccine injured Canadians have been compensated more than $11 million after suffering adverse reactions from the COVID jab.
The Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) processes claims in which “the injury is serious and permanent or has resulted in death,” it said. They accepted 1,825 of 2,233 claims for processing as of December 1, 2023.
VISP defines a serious or permanent injury as “a severe, life-threatening, or life-altering injury that may require in-person hospitalization or a prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulting in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or where the outcome is a congenital malformation or death.”
It began accepting claims in June 2021 after the federal government announced the program the previous December. A doctor applies on behalf of a claimant, and then a VISP doctor reviews it and requests further medical records as required.
Of those claims, the Medical Review Board approved 138 for compensation, totalling $11,236,314, reported Blacklock’s Reporter.
