Korea, free corona vaccine vaccination will begin next month.

The core of the government's countermeasures against side effects of vaccines is the use of the existing'national compensation system'.



A government official told SBS reporter, "We will prepare measures based on the existing system that has been in operation since 1995."



The'National Vaccine Compensation System' is to compensate the state according to the decision of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the event of a disease, disability, or death after being vaccinated.



A government official said, "I do not subscribe to related insurance" regarding'insurance' for damage compensation.



Unlike conventional vaccines, it is difficult to get insurance because it was produced quickly within a year.



The government's options have also been narrowed by vaccine makers requiring all countries to be exempt from side effects.



The key is how to prove the causal relationship between vaccination and damage.



This is because research on side effects is currently in progress.



The Korean Medical Association insists on comprehensive recognition and compensation even if the causal relationship is uncertain.



[Dae-Ha Kim/Director of Public Affairs of the Korean Medical Association: It is not possible to sufficiently verify the safety of the vaccine and to inoculate it.] The



opposition party demands more thorough measures after vaccination.



[Myung-hee Cho/Councilor of the People's Strength: A thorough analysis of the cases of adverse effects of vaccines abroad, safety devices should be prepared, and in the event of side effects, compensation procedures should be provided to the public in detail.] The



government

must provide

comprehensive vaccination measures including compensation for side effects

.

Will be released within this month.
