About the Health Damage Relief System

If health damage occurs due to adverse reactions caused by regular vaccinations, which may require treatment at a medical institution or interfere with daily life, you can receive benefits based on the Vaccination Law.
Depending on the extent of the health damage, there are categories for Medical Expenses, medical allowances, child-rearing pensions for disabled children, disability pensions, death lump-sum payments, and Funeral Services, with amounts specified by law being provided.
However, whether the health damage was caused by the vaccination or by other factors (such as infections that occurred before or after the vaccination or other causes) will be deliberated by a national review committee composed of experts in the fields of vaccination, infectious disease medical care, law, etc., and benefits can be received if it is recognized as being caused by the vaccination.
If you need to apply for benefits, please contact the examining physician or the Health Division of Inagi City.
