5:35 pm
after an incident at a care home in swanage, dorset, very early this morning. residents have been evacuated. we have heard and confirms that carbon monoxide poisoning is the main line of inquiry they are now investigating for that incident. the oxford astrazeneca vaccine was seen as one of the great successes of the covid pandemic, credited with saving over six million lives in its first year. but in rare cases, it was also responsible for serious side effects like blood clots in the brain which in some cases, were fatal. now the financial scheme set up to support people injured by vaccines has been criticised, with the payouts too low. our medical editor fergus walsh has been to meet some of those affected. jane wrigley used to be a runner, now she can barely walk. do you want to hold my hand? yes, please. 0k. before i had the vaccine, i was a very independent, active woman doing half—marathons.
5:36 pm
and now, i have no independence. i can't even shower myself, can i? no. jane suffered a blood clot in her brain two weeks after her first dose of the astrazeneca vaccine in march 2021, and required emergency surgery. as other cases emerged throughout europe, doctors gave the vaccine induced clots a new medical term — vitt. lisa shaw, a presenter at bbc radio newcastle, was 44 when she died — three weeks after her first astrazeneca covid vaccine. her death was attributed to vitt blood clots. lisa's husband gareth is bringing up their son zach on his own. he made a claim through a government scheme set up to support those harmed by vaccines and eventually received £120,000. the amount of this one—off payment hasn't increased since 2007. she died because she took the product that the government told her to get, and they believe that £120,000 is what
5:37 pm
makes up for that loss. i think it's insulting. my son will go through the rest of his life without a mam. gareth waited a year for his payment — jane, two years. she agrees the money is inadequate. it doesn't really compare to what it's taken away from me. i mean, ian can't really work. i can't work, either. from 2000, there were an average of two successful claims a year it doesn't really compare to what it's taken away from me. i mean, ian can't really work. i can't work, either. from 2000, there were an average of two successful claims a year under the vaccine damage payment scheme. post—covid, there have been 188 — all but a handful for the astrazeneca vaccine.
5:38 pm
a further 253 people were told that although the vaccine was responsible for their injuries, they didn't meet the threshold of 60% disability, and so get nothing. of nearly 16,000 covid vaccine claimants, around half have yet to be notified of the outcome. but the harms caused have to be set against the huge benefits of covid vaccination. it's estimated vaccines prevented over 120,000 covid—related deaths in the uk up to september 2021. adam finn was a member of the committee which advised the government on covid vaccines. the protection these vaccines were able to deliver rapidly, even just after the first dose, really saved a lot of people's lives. but he believes the vaccine damage payment scheme is flawed and needs reform.
5:39 pm
at the moment, we are seeing what appears to be a fairly arbitrary compensation scheme, presumably designed to be simple and effective. but it's not really responsive to the level of disability that people experience and it's certainly not changing over time as the cost of living rises. around 50 families affected by vitt blood clots are taking a group legal action against astrazeneca for compensation. both the department of health and astrazeneca said their sympathy went out to anyone who had lost loved ones. the government says it will look closely at the concerns of affected families. astrazeneca said it couldn't comment on ongoing litigation, but patient safety was its highest priority, adding, "regulators around the world state the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks of extremely rare side effects".
5:40 pm
the legal case could take years to have a full hearing. to talk more about these extremely rare side effects, we're joined by kerry hurt who suffered vitt blood clots after the astrazeneca vaccine. thank you for being with us. tell us what happened to you. i thank you for being with us. tell us what happened to you.— what happened to you. i had the astrazeneca _ what happened to you. i had the astrazeneca vaccine _ what happened to you. i had the astrazeneca vaccine on - what happened to you. i had the astrazeneca vaccine on the - what happened to you. i had the astrazeneca vaccine on the 1st i what happened to you. i had the | astrazeneca vaccine on the 1st of april, 2021. that week is so inferred severe headaches and blurry eyes and i was taken to anc where they discovered a large blood caught on my brain and i had to have been a life —— two life—saving operations one to remove part of my school and during the second operation i suffered a stroke that left me paralysed on the left—hand side and then the eyes suffered poor vision in my left eye which is how i still am today. in my left eye which is howl still am today-— am today. obviously this sounds acutely painful, _ am today. obviously this sounds acutely painful, tell— am today. obviously this sounds acutely painful, tell us _ am today. obviously this sounds acutely painful, tell us what - am today. obviously this sounds| acutely painful, tell us what your life was like before this.-
