In case AstraZeneca has received any additional claims, please inform us as soon as possible. In addition we would like to inform you that the amendment to the ravimiseadus (Medicinal Products Act) introduced compulsory vaccine damage insurance in Estonia on 1 May 2022 (hereinafter: vaccine insurance). The purpose of the amendment was to ensure compensation for health damages/ sufferings lasting for at least 4 months or if the person dies as a result of the vaccination and there is at least a probable link between the damage to health and the vaccination. The aim of establishing vaccine insurance was to increase confidence in vaccines and thereby improve people's acceptance of vaccination. The new system has created an opportunity for a person who has suffered serious health damage after vaccination to claim compensation at the rate established by law, depending on the severity of the damage. Vaccine insurance was launched on May 1, 2022, and in 2022, losses caused by COVID -19 vaccines will be reimbursed retrospectively. Claims for damages will be processed by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Eesti Haigekassa). As a part of mutual cooperation obligation and to minimize the number of claims taken to the court and costs related to such claims, we suggest that from now on you inform all the claimants about the opportunity to claim compensation via vaccine insurance. Please get acquainted with the procedure of failing claims for compensation after vaccination - the act is available: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/129042022001 .
