Liability Risk and Insurance
Enhanced vaccine damage payments?
The current regulatory reform bill making its way through parliament is likely to increase and simplify payments to youngsters
suffering vaccine damage. The new rules will reduce the qualifying threshold for compensation from 80% to 60% disability,
and raise the six-year claims limit to the age of 18. The maximum payable is to be doubled to £100,000, with families already
compensated since the start of the scheme in 1979 eligible for topup payments.
