Vaccine Injury Compensation for a child with narcolepsy caused by seasonal flu vaccine

We are pleased to be able to report the successful outcome of the first case of its kind, an English appeal tribunal has now found that a child’s narcolepsy was likely caused by the seasonal flu vaccine and consequently found that a vaccine injury compensation payment under the Vaccine Damage Payment Act 1979 is due to the child in question.

Hello everyone, here at Narcolepsy UK we think it is important to support each other in these very difficult times, so we are doing Online Support Meetings to help people with narcolepsy and their families/carers. If you want to chat to other people with narcolepsy or maybe you are feeling lonely, get in touch with me - Liam Sloan, Volunteer Coordinator at Narcolepsy UK and we will schedule you into one of the group chats, 4 per group. Alternatively you can also have a one on one with one of our staff/volunteers if needed.

World Sleep Day® is Friday March 13, 2020 and will incorporate the slogan, 'Better Sleep, Better Life, Better Planet.'

Traditionally, Narcolepsy UK have marked mid-March as an important date in our calendar for raising awareness. Historically, this has broadly aligned with the Spring Equinox / European Narcolepsy Day & similar events run in the USA such as Sleep Awareness Week & Suddenly Sleepy Saturday.
