A Utah mother, Brianne Dressen, alleges that the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca breached a contract that promised compensation for injuries sustained during a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. After experiencing severe adverse effects from the vaccine, Dressen was left with mounting medical bills and claims that AstraZeneca has failed to provide adequate support. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S., is the first of its kind against AstraZeneca regarding the coronavirus vaccine trial. Dressen’s aim is to hold the company accountable and raise awareness about the potential risks associated with clinical trials and the need for proper compensation for participants who suffer injuries.

Following the admission by AstraZeneca that its Covid vaccine can cause blood clots in rare cases, the Awaken India Movement (AIM) has expressed concerns about the safety of the Covishield vaccine produced by the Serum Institute of India. AIM doctors have called on the Indian government to reevaluate the science behind all Covid-19 vaccines and to ensure rigorous monitoring and surveillance of vaccine-related adverse events. They have also highlighted the lack of complete phase-3 trial data for Covishield, the low awareness of vaccine injuries in India, and the need for fast-track vaccine courts.
