Financial Assistance Payouts for Vaccine Injury Program Detailed

The Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme offers one-time payouts to individuals who experience serious side effects related to Covid-19 vaccinations administered under Singapore's national voluntary vaccination programme. These payouts are tiered based on the severity of the side effect and the resulting medical intervention required. The programme is accessible to Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders.
Payout for Hospitalisation and Recovery

Individuals who require inpatient hospitalisation and medical intervention due to a serious side effect from a Covid-19 vaccine, and subsequently recover, are eligible for a one-time payout of S$2,000. This amount is intended to provide financial support following a significant medical event and recovery period.
Payout for High Dependency or Intensive Care

A more substantial one-time payout of S$10,000 is designated for individuals who need admission to a high dependency unit or intensive care unit as a result of a vaccine-related serious side effect, and later recover. This tier reflects the greater medical severity and resource utilisation associated with critical care.
Payout for Death or Permanent Severe Disability

In the most severe cases, where an individual dies or suffers a permanent severe disability as a direct consequence of Covid-19 vaccination, the programme provides a one-time payout of S$225,000. This highest tier acknowledges the profound and irreversible impact on the individual and their family.
