Only a fraction of the vaccination damage submitted by the corona vaccination has so far been recognized in Bavaria.

In some cases, victims are entitled to money.

Bayreuth –

Corona is still present.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, the seven-day incidence in Bavaria is 246.7.

So it has fallen again in the last few weeks, the Kulmbach district still has the highest incidence nationwide at 1471.4.

The federal government is already discussing how to curb the fall wave, Karl Lauterbach pleaded for booster campaigns with an adapted vaccine.

According to the RKI, almost 28 million doses of vaccine against the corona virus have been administered in Bavaria since the start of the vaccination campaign.

Negative consequences of the vaccination or even damage are the exception rather than the rule, but they still occur, as with any vaccination.

Those affected then have a right to compensation, at least if certain criteria are met.

Corona vaccination damage in Bavaria: almost 1000 applications - processing often lengthy

A total of 984 applications for recognition of vaccination damage in connection with the corona vaccination have been received in Bavaria so far, according to the responsible Bavarian Family and Social Center (ZBFS) in Bayreuth.

Around 100 applications for vaccination damage were made in Bavaria every month this year.

So far, only 242 of the applications have been finally processed.

Permanent vaccine damage was recognized in 16 cases.

Since each case and each report has to be checked individually, the processing often takes a long time, explained ZBFS spokesman Benjamin Vrban of the dpa.

For data protection reasons, the authority did not disclose the vaccine damage suffered by the 16 people affected.

In general, the damage known from the media, such as myocarditis or sinus vein thrombosis, is claimed, said Vrban.

Vaccination damage caused by corona vaccination: Those affected have the right to compensation

In order for permanent vaccination damage to be recognised, the symptoms must last at least six months.

The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, which monitors the safety of vaccines in Germany, points out on its website that "reactions that occur close to a vaccination do not necessarily have to be causally related to a vaccination".

If vaccination damage is caused by a publicly recommended vaccination, the right to social compensation applies.

Depending on the degree of severity, vaccination victims are entitled to a basic pension.

Instead of the previous 156 to 811 euros per month, 164 to 854 euros per month are now paid, taking inflation into account.

In addition, additional payments are possible, depending on the vaccination damage and the economic circumstances of those affected.

Of the 16 recognitions in Bavaria, pensions were granted in 8 cases, as reported by the ZBFS.
