Covid-19 vaccine related treatment injury claims
Data
The data was extracted on 18 October 2021 for treatment injury claims lodged with ACC between 18 February 20210 (when New Zealand began COVID-19 vaccinations) and 16 October 2021, where the treatment event was vaccination or injection/medications, adverse reaction/medication error and where the medication type was recorded as vaccine.
However, as these fields are only completed when cover for the claim is decided, the figures provided have been supplemented by a text search of the claim forms received by ACC which mention Comirnaty (the name of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine), or included the terms covid or Pfizer and vacc. This text search allows us to identify claims that have been lodged but where cover has not been decided.
During this period ACC has received 684 claims for injuries relating to the COVID-19 vaccination. Of these, 260 claims have been accepted, 123 have been declined and 301 are yet to be decided. As at 18 October 2021, no claims for fatalities in relation to the COVID-19 vaccination had been lodged with ACC. The tables below provide a break down the claims received by: client sex; age; ethnicity; first or second dose and, time between vaccine and date the claim was lodged.
Please note that we can only respond based on the vaccine related claims lodged with ACC, and the figures may differ to those previously reported or supplied. Up-to-date data on the number of adverse effects reported from the COVID-19 vaccine can be found on the MedSafe website.
