Beneficiaries who receive Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin will be paid compensation if they suffer adverse event due to the vaccine. The compensation was among the points highlighted on top of the consent form shared with the vaccination centre on Friday.

Vaccination sites at the six Mumbai central government hospitals will give Covaxin. The consent form stated that the beneficiaries will be provided care in government-designated and authorized hospitals in case of any serious side effects due to the vaccine.

The issue of liability has been a point of contestation between the vaccine makers and the government, with the vaccine makers demanding indemnity against any mishap. However, the government’s purchase order said that the company has to be liable for any adversities.

Maharashtra officials said that the turnout today will tell whether the three-page consent form will raise concerns. Maharashtra is among the 11 states to accept Covaxin, which is under Phase 3 trials and no large efficacy data

According to reports, the recipient of the vaccine will also be handed fact sheet and an adverse effect reporting form where they would have to note down symptoms suffered within the first seven days. The consent form state that the vaccine has demonstrated the ability to produce antibody against coronavirus in phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials. “However, the clinical efficacy of Covaxin is yet to be established and it is being studies in phase 3 clinical trial,” the report said.
