The family of two-year-old polio victim Hamish Thompson has vowed to continue the fight for more compensation - despite getting an extra 58,000.

The toddler contracted polio when he was just eight weeks old after routine jabs to protect him against the virus.

His parents David, 42, and Jacqui, 38, of Germander Way, Bicester, received 40,000 compensation - which they argued for years was not enough.

Earlier this year, following pressure from the Birmingham-based Vaccine Victims Support Group and Bicester MP Tony Baldry, the Government increased the compensation by 58,000.

But Jacqui says the family will continue the fight for even more cash for Hamish.

"My husband always said the level of compensation should be nearer 1m and that is what we will continue to fight for.

"This is because Hamish and others like him will need care for the rest of their lives."

Hamish has been left paralysed in both legs and in his left arm. He is also developing an S-shaped spine and deformity in his legs.

Last week, the Oxford Mail reported that thousands of Oxfordshire children had been given a polio vaccine which was recalled amid fears over CJD.

The Medeva vaccine was withdrawn after it was revealed it contained banned material from calves that could be linked to the human form of mad cow disease.
