Harm attributed to Covid vaccination: what is the ONIAM pathway?

ONIAM describes a specific pathway for Covid vaccination within the campaign. Applications are assessed; a symptom after injection does not guarantee causation or compensation.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

A health problem after vaccination first needs medical assessment. If you then have questions about compensation, ONIAM describes a specific scheme for harm linked to Covid vaccination within the vaccination campaign.

The office states that these applications go directly to its special-missions service. The conciliation and compensation commissions do not handle this particular Covid pathway. Check the matching official scheme before starting a request.

The application must establish the vaccination context, dates and nature of the alleged harm. ONIAM provides a practical guide and form listing the documents needed. Keep your evidence and follow that official list.

The office may commission expert assessment of the harm and its relationship to vaccination. The timing alone does not guarantee causation. The existence of a procedure does not mean an application will automatically be accepted.

The described amicable pathway is optional and has no procedural fee. Ancillary costs, such as sending documents or chosen assistance, may remain your responsibility. This is not a promise of payment or general coverage of every cost.

Read ONIAM’s current application instructions and direct administrative questions to it. Pharmacovigilance reporting and compensation applications are different processes. Continue discussing healthcare or future vaccination with your health professional.
