Philhealth to cover COVID-19 vaccine side effects
The insurer will grant a maximum of $2,052 for hospitalisations.
Philippine state health insurer Philhealth will now cover adverse reactions resulting from the COVID-19 vaccine, according to media reports.
The insurer will grant a maximum of $2,052 (PHP100,000) for hospitalisations due to side effects of the vaccine.
A lump sum of the same amount will be paid once per beneficiary for death or permanent disability arising from the vaccine.
The coverage is available to claims from 3 March 2021 to 2 March 2026 under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Act of 2021.
Meanwhile, another Philhealth circular states that the coverage does not apply to those who have received compensation or will receive compensation through the COVAX no-fault programme.
