The COVID-19 vaccine injury compensation package can cover up to P100,000 in hospitalization dues or a lumpsum of P100,000 for disabilities or deaths proven to be due to the COVID-19 jabs, PhilHealth Vice President Shirley Domingo said.

MANILA - The Philippine Health Insurance Corp on Tuesday announced the roll out of its indemnification policy for Filipinos who would be hospitalized or die due to serious adverse effects from the COVID-19 vaccine.

"The claim corresponds to remaining charges on top of PhilHealth benefits and other health benefits provided by private health insurances and health management organizations," she said. The package only covers those inoculated with jabs without certificates of product registration as there is a separate way of resolving vaccine complication issues with the Food and Drug Administration once the drug is already considered a registered product, she said.

"Kapag nag claim sila sa iba, like sa COVAX No Fault Compensation Program... hindi na sila puwede mag claim sa atin," she said.
