    On Apr. 1, 2026, the Government of Canada assumed direct control of CanadarCOs vaccine injury compensation system, introducing changes aimed at
    improving how claims are processed and how support is delivered to vaccine injured individuals.1 The move followed an audit ordered by Health
    Minister Marjorie Michel in response to concerns about how the previous program was managed.2

    The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) officially took responsibility for administering the program, replacing the private third-party
    contractor Oxaro, Inc., which had previously operated the system as the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) under a five-year, $50 million
    federal contract that ended on Mar. 31.3 After former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the introduction of VISP in December 2020, the
    federal government assigned its administration to Oxaro. Canada had been the only G7 country without a national vaccine injury compensation
    program and the only one to rely on a third-party, for-profit administrator.4

    The program, now called the Vaccine Impact Assistance Program (VIAP), continues to provide financial support to people who experience a serious
    and permanent injury after receiving a Health Canada authorized COVID shot administered in Canada on or after Dec. 8, 2020
