Cases of insufficient causality for hospitalization and adverse reactions after vaccination are also excluded from the quarantine pass

Those who have been hospitalized at a medical institution within 6 weeks of inoculation due to symptoms of suspected adverse reactions after being vaccinated against COVID-19 will be exempted from the quarantine pass (inoculation certificate/negative confirmation system) from the 24th.

In addition, those who have had an adverse reaction after being vaccinated against COVID-19 and have applied for damage compensation to the health authorities and have been judged to be 'insufficient causality evidence' are also excluded from the application of the quarantine pass.

The Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) announced today (19th) that it will expand the exceptions of the quarantine pass as follows.

Currently, quarantine pass exceptions are: ▲ Those who have been released from quarantine after being confirmed with COVID-19 ▲ Those whose secondary inoculation has been postponed or banned due to a serious adverse reaction after the first dose ▲ Those who have immunodeficiency or need to postpone vaccination due to administration of immunosuppressants or anticancer drugs ▲ We are adding two cases, such as those who are contraindicated in vaccination.

Regarding this measure, the Bangdaebon said, "As the application of the quarantine pass is extended to all multi-use facilities as an alternative means of social distancing, the purpose is to minimize the inconvenience of people who tried to get vaccinated but did not complete the inoculation due to an adverse reaction after the inoculation. “, explained.

He further emphasized, "The recognition of the quarantine pass exception does not imply the causality of vaccination and adverse reactions, the need for compensation, or the contraindication of vaccination."

As a result of applying for damage compensation due to an adverse reaction after vaccination, as a result of applying for damage compensation as a result of the expansion of the quarantine pass exception, those who have received inpatient treatment within 6 weeks of vaccination at a medical institution can receive a confirmation of exception to the quarantine pass from the 24th. there is.

There is no separate expiration date for the validity period in the confirmation of exception.

Those who have been judged by the authorities to have insufficient causality evidence can receive an electronic document-type exception confirmation by 'issuing/updating inoculation history' on the COOV app or electronic access list platforms such as Kakao and Naver.

There is no separate procedure such as submitting a medical certificate in the issuance process.

In addition, if you present your ID at a public health center, you can receive a paper exception confirmation.

If you are hospitalized within 6 weeks of vaccination due to an adverse reaction to the vaccination, you will be registered as an exception to the quarantine pass by submitting a hospitalization confirmation letter to the public health center and a medical certificate stating that you received inpatient treatment due to an adverse reaction after being vaccinated against COVID-19.

After that, you can receive an exception confirmation from all public health centers, and you can receive an exception confirmation in the form of an electronic document from the Kub app or electronic access list platform.

Previously, there was a demand that pregnant women should also be included in the quarantine pass exception, but the authorities did not classify pregnant women as an exception.

The authorities explain that pregnant women are a high-risk group for COVID-19 and are subject to vaccination recommendations, so it is difficult to recognize them as exceptions to the quarantine pass.
