Program:

Pan-Canadian Vaccine Injury Support Program

Program Purpose:

The Pan-Canadian Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) ensures that all people in Canada who experience a serious and permanent injury as a result of receiving a Health Canada-authorized vaccine, administered in Canada on or after December 8, 2020, have fair and timely access to financial support. The exception are people vaccinated in Québec who will receive coverage from the longstanding Québec program.

An independent administrator was selected via an open call for applications to administer the VISP (except for Québec) using contribution funding. Québec is continuing to deliver its Vaccine Injury Compensation Program with federal contribution funding.
