Note to Applicant

In order for your Application to be considered, you need to submit, at the same time as your Application, a power of attorney or statement notarized by a Notary Official confirming that you are the duly authorized legal representative of the person on whose behalf you are submitting this Application. You may try again after you have obtained that power of attorney or notarized statement.

For more information about the requirements that apply to this power of attorney or notarized statement, please see Section 8(b) of the Application Form (Schedule 2).

You should wait 30 days after the administration of the Vaccine dose that is deemed to have resulted in the Injury before taking any steps towards: (a) the completion or submission of the Application Form and the Supporting Evidence Form, and (b) obtaining any of the documents required to be provided with these forms.

Please wait until this 30-day waiting period is over before proceeding to take any of these steps.

In order for your Application to be considered, all application materials (including the Supporting Evidence Form and the other documents required under the terms of the Application Form and the Supporting Evidence Form) should be submitted at the same time as your Application.

Please try again after you have obtained these other application materials.

Please note that the Application form, the Supporting Evidence form and all other Program forms must be completed and submitted in English, French or Spanish only; no other languages can be accepted by the Administrator.

Please try again after the Application Form and the Supporting Evidence Form have been completed in either English, French or Spanish.

Based on your answer, it appears that you (or the person you represent) was not administered a Vaccine procured or distributed under the COVAX Facility, as listed in Schedule 1 of the Program’s Protocol. Please note that the Program only applies to these Vaccines, and does not cover other vaccines.

Based on your answer, it appears that you are not eligible to apply for compensation under the Program, because you are not (or the person you represent is not) a citizen, a resident, or a beneficiary of the COVAX Facility humanitarian buffer in any of the countries designated as “AMC Eligible Economies”. Please note that the Program only applies to Vaccines procured or distributed under the COVAX Facility in any of the AMC Eligible Economies, but not in other countries.

Based on your answer, it appears that you are not eligible to apply for compensation under the Program, because you (or the person you represent) were not administered a vaccine in one of the countries designated as “AMC Eligible Economies”. Please note that the Program only applies to Vaccines procured or distributed under the COVAX Facility in any of the AMC Eligible Economies, but not in other countries.

Because the Vaccine was administered too recently, it appears that you are not eligible to submit an Application for compensation under the Program.

Based on the information you have provided, you Application cannot be accepted because a Registered Health Professional has not deemed your injury to have arisen out of a COVAX-distributed COVID-19 vaccine or its administration. You may try again after obtaining an opinion from a Registered Health Professional that your injury arose out of a COVAX-distributed COVID-19 vaccine or its administration.
