Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 21) Gabriela Party Rep. Arlene Brosas on Wednesday lamented the lack of implementation guidelines on indemnifying vaccine recipients who may experience serious side effects after receiving a coronavirus shot more than a month since the local inoculation drive started. PhilHealth is currently finalizing the specific guidelines for approval of the board and then eventually the management, Dr. Mary Antonette Remonte of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation told a House hearing when Brosas asked for a copy of the indemnification guidelines. We have to study carefully the law as well as we have to consider the available resources as provided by law, Remonte added, noting that the indemnification fund is new and that PhilHealth does not have much experience in managing this.
