WQ.203/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY H.M. MILES OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 28th MAY 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise whether there are any plans to establish and administer a Vaccine Damage Payment scheme in Jersey; and if not, why not?”
Answer
On 13 May 2024, the national Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) became open to applications from those who received eligible vaccinations in Jersey on or after 1 December 2020. This offers the opportunity for islanders, who believe they were adversely affected by their vaccinations, to have their damage assessed against the same criteria as other applicants from the British Isles, and, if successful, receive an assistance payment from the Government of Jersey.
Further information about the VDP scheme can be found on the government webpage: Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (gov.je).
