On 11 January 2023, Amps WROTE TO MEMBERS PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ADMINISTERING OF COVID-19 VACCINATION IS LIKELY NOT AN INDEMNIFIED ACTION

The letter alerted doctors and nurses who may administer the Covid-19 vaccines that recent correspondence from government advisers outlined that a medical indemnity scheme for health professionals administering the COVID-19 vaccines was never established per se.

The letter contains direct links to referenced correspondence and provides notice of health professional's obligations, rights, and potential risks.

AMPS advises members that this letter can be shared as a means to inform colleagues of the potential liability risks associated with participation in the provisionally approved COVID-19 Vaccination rollout.
