For the 11 men and women who died after being vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare decided to pay a lump-sum death payment, saying that the possibility of death due to vaccination could not be denied.
Regarding the new coronavirus vaccination, if the government certifies that a causal relationship cannot be denied for a person who dies after being vaccinated, a lump-sum death benefit will be paid based on the Vaccination Act. 30 men and women from 90s to 90s are accepted.
On the 14th, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare decided to newly target 11 men and women aged 52 to 83 who died of congestive heart failure, cerebral infarction, or sudden death after vaccination.
Seven of them had underlying diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has determined that a causal relationship cannot be denied based on the death certificate and medical record.
The type of vaccine and the number of doses given were not disclosed.
This brings the number of people who have been approved to receive lump-sum death benefits to 41.
