Subsidies for "re-inoculation costs" for those who have lost immunity due to bone marrow transplantation

　　If the immunity obtained in Vaccinations, which has already been performed due to bone marrow transplantation, etc., disappears and you need to be vaccinated again, you will be responsible for the cost.
　　In order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and reduce the economic burden, Yokohama City has implemented a subsidy program for Vaccinations expenses.
　　Advance application is required to use the system.
　　If you would like to apply, please contact the Medical Care Bureau Health and Safety Division (045-671-4190) in advance.

　　Those who meet all of the following requirements:

※In addition, since re-inoculation is positioned as a voluntary vaccination, if a health hazard occurs after vaccination, you will have to apply for damage relief by PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency). For an overview of PMDA's damage relief system, please refer to the "Relief System for Adverse Drug Effects".

　　Vaccination fees paid at medical institutions
　　(Excluding document fees, transportation expenses related to outpatient visits, expenses required for related treatments, etc.)

　　You have to pay the vaccination fee to the medical institution once, and refund the vaccination fee from Yokohama City at a later date.

　　Prior application is required before re-vaccination to use the system.
　　If you would like to apply, please contact the Medical Care Bureau Health and Safety Division (045-671-4190) in advance.
　　(However, those who have already been vaccinated at the start of the system.)
　　You will also need a statement of reasons such as family doctor.
