Will injury compensation be available for individuals who develop Guillain-Barré Syndrome within 6 weeks after H1N1 vaccine?
The administration and delivery of immunization programs and associated compensation schemes in Canada are a provincial/territorial responsibility. Currently, Quebec is the only province with a no-fault vaccine injury compensation program in place in Canada. Through the National Immunization Strategy, the Public Health Agency of Canada continues to work with provinces and territories to monitor and evaluate immunization programs and to assess the need for any additions or changes to the existing national strategy.
