Just over a third of the 1708 lodged ACC claims for Covid vaccine injuries have been accepted by the Government agency, since the rollout began last year.
An Official Information Act request made public by ACC on January 12 this year shows 627 claims have been successful, and a further 569 are still yet to be decided.
A significant percentage (68%) are for females, with the 45-49 year old age group the highest number of claims.
Teenagers between 12 and 19 make up 36 of the cases, and the majority overall were for an allergic reaction (150), with other adverse reactions including cardiac injury and anaphylactic reaction.
Twelve people were awarded between $10,000 and $50,000, and overall 59 out of 627 accepted claims had resulted in payments of over $500.
To date, fewer than four claims have been lodged with ACC which have related to a fatal injury.
Functional nutrition consultant Gary Moller, of Wellington, who is double vaccinated and has been treating many of the vaccine injured in his city, said he has personally seen up to eight cases a week of serious vaccine harm.
“It has been overwhelming and distressing to say the least.”
“These cases range from the return of previously dormant conditions such as chronic fatigue, shingles and cancer, through to heart problems.”
70% of claims lodged with ACC for Covid vaccination injuries have been for clients with European ethnicity with a similar percentage accepted for cover.
Māori comprise 9% of claims lodged with ACC for Covid vaccination injuries and 9% of the claims accepted.
