This document has been produced by the thirteen P&I Clubs which are members of the International Group of P&I Clubs in order to answer a number of questions that are frequently asked about P&I Club cover relating to the vaccination of seafarers.
The International Group of P&I Clubs (IG P&I) has also collaborated with the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) on an ICS publication "Coronavirus (COVID- 19): Legal, Liability and Insurance Issues arising from Vaccination of Seafarers"
A number of general and operational issues are dealt with in detail in that document and so reference is made to it throughout these FAQ's. It should be noted that most issues relating to the vaccination of seafarers are operational ones, which are therefore not covered by P&I insurance.
