About this episode
There’s a group of people who felt completely abandoned during our most recent public health crisis: those who suffered Covid-19 vaccine injuries.
It is a rare event, but it happens.
During the pandemic those who experienced side effects from Covid-19 vaccinations say they felt deserted by their friends, health services and ultimately, the government, which they believe failed to deliver its promised compensation scheme.
Today, reporter for the ABC’s Background Briefing Maddison Connaughton on the shortcomings of the Covid-19 vaccination compensation scheme – and what it means for public trust during a future pandemic.
