The United States government gave three people a total of less than $5,000 in compensation after they filed claims for injuries related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
The first-of-its-kind compensation came through the Department of Health and Human Services Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.
One person received $2,019.55 after suffering from anaphylaxis, or a severe allergic reaction, after the COVID-19 vaccine, agency data shows. Two other people said they suffered from myocarditis, or heart inflammation, after getting the shot, and one received $1,582.65 and the other was compensated $1,032.69.
