Those who suffer from serious side effects related to their Covid-19 vaccination can apply for financial assistance from Wednesday (March 17).
Their applications under the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme for Covid-19 vaccination (Vifap) will need to be accompanied by medical information on the serious side effect from the doctor treating them, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said.
Those who need inpatient hospitalisation and medical intervention, and who subsequently recover, will get $2,000.
Those who require admission to high-dependency or intensive care wards and subsequently recover will get $10,000.
Those who die or suffer permanent severe disability as a result of the vaccination will get $225,000.
MOH had already announced the two higher payout tiers on Jan 28, but not the lowest tier of $2,000.
