12, expressed hope that the indemnification issues surrounding the coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines will soon be ironed out to ensure the smooth and timely roll out of the country’s vaccination program.Domingo, in an online interview, said that in other countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan, there are laws for indemnification or compensation in case of any vaccine injury.
Initially, Domingo said that World Heath Organization was ready to ship the vaccines on Feb. 15. “We also prepared for it but I guess they will not ship the vaccines to the Philippines until the details of the contract have been settled,” he added. The need for indemnification, Domingo said, has never happened before because all products that the country procured prior the COVID-19 pandemic “are fully registered.”
This is the case for all vaccines under EUA, Domingo said. “Even the COVAX require an indemnification clause in their contract,” he added.
