Expert/s: Bill King

Listen to the episode

Description

In this episode:

  • Development of an education program around the Covid vaccine compensation scheme which the Commonwealth Government announced in July
  • The scheme has opened to patients wishing to register and is an issue relevant to the day-to-day practice of GPs
  • GPs are likely to field enquiries from patients about the scheme or have consultations with the small percentage of patients who suffer injury from the vaccine
  • The scheme enables patients who have suffered injury from an adverse reaction to a Covid vaccine to claim compensation for their losses on a “no-fault” basis
