A Global News investigation has uncovered complaints that the program has failed to deliver on its promise of “fair and timely” access to financial support for the injured.

The federal government has launched a compliance audit to determine if an Ottawa consulting company is mismanaging the Vaccine Injury Support Program ( VISP ) The program was designed during the pandemic to compensate people who have been seriously and permanently injured by vaccines.

Both Strauss and Davies drew comparisons to the ArriveCan app program, which has faced scrutiny over the costs and contracting for the pandemic-era app.

“The public will see, not only are some people pushing back on vaccines, but even if something goes wrong, you’re not going to get support I would argue that it’s going to feed into growing trends of vaccine hesitancy," Davies said.
