Children’s vaccinations

The OOM Living Abroad Insurance is a medical insurance for a longer or permanent stay abroad.

What does the insurance reimburse?

Whether you get reimbursement for children’s vaccinations depends on the cover you have chosen:

  • Regular cover: no reimbursement
  • Comfort and DeLuxe cover: the costs will be reimbursed

You will receive reimbursement for children’s vaccinations which are included in the Vaccination Programme of the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection (RIVM) or in the official vaccination programme of the country you are staying in.

Are there costs for you?

With the OOM Living Abroad Insurance you can opt for no excess or an excess of €250, €500 or €1,000. If you have opted for an excess and you incur costs which are covered by the insurance, you then pay the first part of these costs yourself.

An example

You are staying abroad with your child and want them to be vaccinated against hepatitis. The costs are €40. This vaccination is included in the RIVM vaccination programme. If your child has Comfort cover and no excess, you will receive a reimbursement of the total costs.
