Conservative MPs on a federal health committee are calling for a special summer meeting within five days to review the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) after a report raised concern about its efficiency.

A July 14 letter addressed to Liberal MP Hedy Fry, who serves as the chair of the House of Commons health committee, references reporting from Global News that found more than 1,700 of the 3,100 claims submitted to VISP remain unresolved.
