Three people have received a total of HK$450,000 (US$58,000) from Hong Kong’s Covid-19 vaccination indemnity fund, health authorities revealed on Wednesday, marking the first time in more than three months of the mass inoculation drive that compensation has been paid to those who suffered side effects.
With more than 3 million doses of vaccines having been administered since February, the Food and Health Bureau said it had received 74 applications for compensation as of June 10 – 58 of which were still being processed.
