Designing a No-Fault Vaccine-Injury Compensation Programme for Canada: Lessons Learned from an International Analysis of Programmes

This report provides both an in-depth analysis of several distinct types of no-fault programmes and research based recommendations for the design and implementation of a model programme that could be implemented in the Canadian context. To do so, we reviewed the international programmes implemented in thirteen jurisdictions and conducted in-depth case studies of the programmes implemented in the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and in the province of Quebec.
