Information

This document details the questions COVERSE asked its users in the vaccine injury profile.

Introduction

It is important for us to collect data on COVID-19 vaccine injures in Australia so that we have independent data to support our advocacy efforts.

Record your injury in as much detail as possible below. You do not need to complete it all at once — you can save it as a draft and return later when you are able to finish it. Note, if you want to ask us a question or need specific help regarding your injury then send us an email).

We estimate the form will take 20–60 minutes to complete, depending on your circumstances and how much information you wish to provide. This information is held in confidence and individual response details will never be published.
