UK’s Covid vaccine rollout was ‘extraordinary feat’ finds inquiry
The inquiry said the rollout saved hundreds of thousands of lives, but urged action on misinformation, hesitancy and a compensation scheme that paid only 1% of claimants.
- The UK Covid-19 vaccination programme was described as an extraordinary feat, rapidly developing and delivering effective vaccines that saved over 475,000 lives in England and Scotland by March 2023.
- Baroness Heather Hallett, chair of the public inquiry, called for urgent reform of the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, including increasing maximum payouts from £120,000 to at least £200,000 and removing the 60% disability threshold for claims.

- The report praised the UK’s leadership in biomedical sciences and effective clinical trials, such as the RECOVERY trial that identified dexamethasone as a treatment saving thousands of lives, while acknowledging some individuals suffered serious harm from vaccines.
