Media outlets reported the settlement as the largest individual payout under Australia’s COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme.

Chris Nemeth, a Melbourne father of two, received approximately AU$6.5 million ($4.5 million) in compensation after developing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) following administration of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in July 2021, according to a report from Children’s Health Defense [1]

Media outlets reported the settlement as the largest individual payout under Australia’s COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme. Neither Services Australia nor the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has publicly confirmed the amount.

The payment was made through the federal no-fault claims scheme established by the Australian government in 2021 to provide financial support for individuals who experience serious adverse events linked to COVID-19 vaccination.

Nemeth was diagnosed with CIDP, a rare autoimmune disorder affecting peripheral nerves, after receiving his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, according to the same report [1]. The condition involves demyelination of the myelin sheath surrounding nerves, leading to progressive weakness and impaired sensation in the limbs.
