This event will examine critically the provision made for the small numbers of those who have suffered adverse reactions after administration of one of the Covid-19 vaccines. The focus of this event will be on the compensation schemes established at a national and international level (including the COVAX / GAVI scheme) to provide compensation and support for those affected. Experts from around the globe will discuss this important and topical issue in a workshop format.

The event is co-organized by the CCTL Obligations Lab Asia, British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Georgetown University and Institut de droit comparé de Paris.
