Three people win payouts linked to COVID vaccination

Three people have won payouts from the government as compensation for damage caused to them or a close family member by the COVID vaccines.

One woman whose fiance died after the jab became the first person to win a payout this week after she was awarded £120,000.

According to the BBC, two more have now secured payments while a further 95 people are trying to claim compensation through the government's vaccine damage payment scheme.

All of the claims are related to the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab.
