Rishi Sunak recommends pursuing a legal compensation claim with the vaccine manufacturer

Prime Minister's question time 22nd March 2023

Transcript
Mr. Speaker, it is important to start by recognizing the importance of vaccines and protecting us all and not least the fantastic roll out of the COVID vaccines across the UK, but I am very sorry to hear about the case that my right honourable friend raises. In the extremely rare case of a potential injury from a vaccine covered by the scheme a one off payment can be awarded. This is not designed to be a compensation scheme and it does not prevent the injured person in pursuing a legal compensation claim with the vaccine manufacturer. We are taking steps to reform vaccine damage payment scheme by modernising the operations and providing more timely outcomes. But of course I'll be happy to talk to the honourable gentleman further about this.
