Between COVID-19 being added to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) on 31 December 2020 and 16 January 2024, 163 claimants to the VDPS have received an award for claims in relation to an eligible vaccine, including COVID-19. No claims to the VDPS have received compensation, as the VDPS is not a compensation scheme, and it is not designed to cover all expenses associated with severe disablement.
