Over 10,000 Australians Planning to File COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims

Around 10,000 Australians are planning to file compensation claims for injury or loss of income resulting from COVID-19 vaccines.

Since Sept. 6, residents have begun registering their interest to make a claim under the federal government’s no-fault COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme, according to a Department of Health statement issued to The Epoch Times.

The scheme—announced in late August—will cover the costs of injuries A$5,000 or above. But claimants will need to have received a vaccine approved by Australian drug regulators and suffered a recognised “adverse event.”

“The recognised side effects to the COVID-19 vaccines are included in the approved Product Information and include thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) associated (blood-clotting) with the AstraZeneca vaccine and myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the Pfizer vaccine,” a Department of Health website stated.

Individuals need to have been hospitalised for claims between A$5,000 to A$20,000 for at least one night. They must also provide medical documentation of the injury and evidence of medical costs and lost wages.

It comes after Australian state and territory governments continue pushing to increase vaccination rates across their populations, with vaccine mandates sweeping through various sectors and industries.

Victoria, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory have implemented some of the most comprehensive mandates affecting millions of Australian workers.
