(ANSA) - Rome, March 15 - A Catania court has ordered the
health ministry to compensate a soldier who was infected with
chronic hepatitis prior to leaving on a mission abroad due to
the vaccination technique used.
The soldier's lawyer, Silvio Vignera, said that the ministry
would have to pay him about 3 million euros.
The legal advisor to the judge said in the report that the
vaccine itself was safe but that multiple doses in a short
period and without proper medical supervision was the problem.
