Which way forward for Canada’s vaccine injury support program?
摘要
Canada was the last of the G7 countries to adopt a program and dozens of other jurisdictions around the world had previously instituted forms of vaccine injury compensation. The program was formally launched in June of 2021 and has come under increased scrutiny recently. As the first stage of the program nears its end, we provide an overview on the path to a vaccine injury compensation program in Canada, challenges it has faced, and recommendations for ensuring the program meets its intended goals.
