Petition request

That the House of Representatives ensure that people who have suffered a vaccine injury but can’t get a specialist diagnosis can get ACC assistance.

Petition reason

I think that these people are stuck in medical limbo through no fault of their own, due to a lack of tests available, a lack of specialist knowledge, or a lack of ability of the health system to proceed in general. ACC has said that it can’t assist without a diagnosis. In my view, this is too great a barrier for people when a diagnosis is difficult to obtain due to health system constraints. I think this can lead to harm and financial loss for those people.
