At least $2,000 payouts for those who suffer vaccine side effects

On 16 Mar, MOH announced that those hospitalised as a result of serious side effects from receiving the Covid-19 vaccine will be entitled to a one-off payout.

This payout has 3 tiers, and begins at $2,000 for those who require hospitalisation.

 

The payout is not meant to offset hospitalisation bills, MOH said.

It recommends that those who are eligible to get the vaccine should do so, so as to protect not only themselves but also their loved ones and those around them.
