COVID-19 Vaccines: How would liability apply in the absence of the COVID-19 No-Fault Compensation Scheme

To secure COVID-19 vaccines, governments from around the world were required to provide a partial indemnity from liability to COVID-19 Vaccine manufacturers, in the case of any severe side effects vaccines may cause. In April 2021, South Africa implemented the COVID-19 No-Fault Compensation Scheme altering the approach to how a person may lodge a claim for injury or loss arising from a COVID-19 Vaccine. Legal experts from CDH discuss product liability, consumer protection law, and the influence of the COVID-19 No-Fault Compensation Scheme in this episode of the podcast series focusing on Liability and Recourse for Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries.
