The Covid-19 Vaccine Damage Payments Bill would require the Secretary of State to make provision for financial assistance for people who have suffered disablement following a Covid-19 vaccination, and for the next of kin of people who died shortly after vaccination.

It also refers to a special time limit related to personal injury or death claims.
