Serum Institute files Rs 100 crore defamation suit against volunteer who claimed COVID-19 vaccine made him ill

Serum Institute of India (SII), which is currently conducting coronavirus vaccine trials across India, has filed a defamation suit against a Chennai-based volunteer who claimed that the vaccine made him ill. The volunteer, who claims that he underwent neurological impairment because of the vaccine, subsequently filed Rs 5 crore suit against the company. SII has partnered with AstraZeneca and Oxford University to produce COVID-19 vaccine under the brand name Covishield. 

As per reports, the volunteer had sent a legal notice on November 21 and sued SII for Rs 5 crore. SII denied the allegations and called them malicious and has responded by filing a defamation suit against the volunteer. A company spokesperson through a statement said that while the company sympathises with the volunteers medical condition, there was absolutely no correlation with the vaccine trial and the medical condition of the volunteer. 

The statement read: The claim is malicious because the volunteer was specifically informed by the medical team that the complications he suffered were independent of the vaccine trial he underwent. The volunteer is falsely laying the blame for his medical problems on the COVID-19 vaccine trial. Inspite of specifically being made aware of the same, he still chose to go public and malign the reputation of the company.

The statement added: The Serum Institute of India, will seek damages in excess of Rs 100 crore for the same and will defend such malicious claims.
