Domingo, in an online interview, said that in other countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan, there are laws for indemnification or compensation in case of any vaccine injury.
“I hope they settle it soon because I think that’s the last remaining point – the indemnification clause of the contract,” Domingo said. If not, he noted that that the timeline of the vaccination program might be affected.
