The COVID pandemic led to a nearly six-fold increase in the number of non-fault compensation schemes for vaccine injuries globally, said Oxford University researchers who made public an online database tracking the schemes
Regulators globally have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and adverse events are extremely rare. But in those rare cases, the pandemic exposed problems in some countries -- such as in the United States -- with vaccine compensation schemes when large proportions of populations are inoculated.
The first phase of the three-year research project, funded by drug industry lobby IFPMA , found that at least 146 countries operated a scheme related to COVID-19 vaccines. In January 2020, when the pandemic began, only 26 vaccine compensation schemes existed.
