SUPREME COURT DIRECTS 'NO-FAULT' COMPENSATION FOR VACCINE ADVERSE EVENTS

The Supreme Court directed the Centre to create a no-fault compensation policy for severe COVID-19 vaccine injuries under Article 21. This framework bypasses litigation, providing swift redressal through a Vaccine Injury Trust Fund. It ensures a socio-economic safety net, maintains public trust, and strengthens future pandemic preparedness.
