The payment of compensation for narcolepsy attributed to the H1N1, or swine flu vaccine during the pandemic of 2009 has started.
In the first stages, 78 children and young people will get an advance payout of EUR 10,000 ? 20,000. The sum might increase later, says Asko Nio of the Finnish Pharmaceutical Insurance Pool.
Applications have been received on behalf of 111 children and young people. Some of the applications arrived this week, and they have not been processed yet. There are about ten uncertain cases.
Those who were diagnosed with narcolepsy after getting the vaccination are to get a one-off payment for both temporary and permanent harm.
For temporary damage, mainly pain and suffering, all are getting an immediate payment of EUR 8,700.
