Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many claims to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme relating to covid-19 vaccines where causation has been established and where (a) the 60% disablement threshold has been met, (b) that threshold has not been met, have arisen as a result of (i) Vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, (ii) Guillain-Barré syndrome and (iii) any other condition.

As of 31 January 2024, of the 163 COVID-19 related applications to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme that have received an award, 69 cases were related to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, 49 were related to Guillain-Barré syndrome and 45 cases were related to other medical conditions.

Of the 300 cases where causation was accepted but the individual did not meet the 60% threshold, 50 cases were related to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, 63 were related to Guillain-Barré syndrome and 187 cases were related to other medical conditions.
