About the Health Damage Relief System

If health damage occurs due to adverse reactions caused by regular vaccinations, such as requiring treatment at a medical institution or hindering daily life, you can receive benefits based on the Vaccination Law.
Depending on the extent of health damage, there are categories for Medical Expenses, medical allowances, child-rearing pensions for disabled children, disability pensions, one-time death benefits, and Funeral Services, with amounts specified by law being provided.
However, if the health damage was caused by the vaccination or by another factor (such as an infection that occurred before or after the vaccination or other causes), the causal relationship will be discussed at a national review committee composed of experts in various fields such as vaccination, infectious disease medicine, and law. 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.
