Some employers implementing their vaccination policies are being met with resistance from employees or anti-vaccination groups, together with threats of civil and criminal liability, says legal firm Bowmans.

A few employers have received a ‘notice of liability’ with a request from employees for them to sign an indemnity in terms of which the employer agrees to be held liable in the event of an injury from vaccination.

The chronological sequence between the vaccine inoculation and the development of symptoms and clinical signs must be provided; It was established to provide expeditious and easy access to compensation for persons who suffer harm, loss or damage as a result of a vaccine injury. Persons eligible to claim compensation in terms of the Scheme are those who have suffered a serious vaccine injury resulting from the administration of an applicable vaccine at an official vaccination site, or their dependents who have suffered harm, loss or damage caused by the death of the deceased person.

“An eligible person will be informed in writing of the outcome of a NISEC causality assessment, which will include a recommendation on whether the claimant’s vaccine injury meets the requirements of causation. Thereafter a claim for compensation must be lodged within 30 days. The scheme administrator will assist the claimant with the lodging of a claim.”
