A mum-of-two has launched a claim for compensation after being left in a coma for four days shortly after having a Covid vaccine. Sarah Birch, 46, used to work two jobs but says she has been left virtually bedbound for months after developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
Sarah said her health problems started with dizziness, back ache and tingling in her toes and tongue, and ended up with her collapsing at home shortly after having a Covid jab in May last year.
An assessment is now being carried out by an independent medic to determine if Sarah will be successful in her claim for compensation for loss of health and earnings from the government’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS). The investigation will determine if there is a link between the illness and the jab.
