Updates on Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in Taiwan and Program Evaluation
並列摘要
In response to the outcome in which a child received oral poliovirus vaccine and subsequently developed polio in 1986 in Taoyuan area, the Department of Health implemented the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and established a Compensation Relief Funds that pays for vaccine-injured individuals in June, 1988 and held its first committee meeting in 1988. Later in 1992, Vaccine Injury Compensation Working Group was set up to conduct independent review of vaccine-related injury cases. The legislative objectives of the policy are to compensate vaccine-injured children and their family in a timely fashion, address public concern over vaccine safety, and simultaneously encourage parents to continue to have their children vaccinated, thus to maintain high vaccination coverage for certain vaccine-preventable diseases. This paper aims to give updates on VICP in Taiwan and further evaluates the Regulations Governing Collection and Review of Relief Fund for Victims of Immunization and proposes recommendations regarding future work.
