The Slovenian Ministry of Health has paid 20,000 euros in compensation for deaths after vaccination against the coronavirus.
The Ministry of Health of Slovenia received 81 requests in 2022, and 103 this year, for recognition of the right to compensation for damage to health or death related to vaccination against the coronavirus, the portal “24ur” reports.
So far, the Ministry of Health has issued 27 decisions based on the expert opinion of the commission for determining causality, all of which, except one, indicated that there is no connection between vaccination against Covid and death.
Processing of requests from 2022 began in January of this year, and most of them were forwarded from July to September for consideration by the Committee for determining the cause-and-effect relationship, while the requests submitted this year will be distributed by the Ministry from January 2024.
Two deaths were registered in Slovenia after vaccination against the coronavirus. In one case, it was about a young patient who was admitted to the Ljubljana clinical center at the end of September 2021, and died on the same day.
In May of the same year, after vaccination, a woman died of a stroke in Belgium.
