It is almost impossible to get a payment out of it. I'd only bother trying if it was very clear cut (I do know someone who had a payment after the measles jab left her brain damaged, she's an adult now).

If your child dies from a vaccination before the age of 2 you cannot receive a payment, if they're after 2 you can. Not that a payment would make much difference, but it seems a strange rule.
