All Seven Integrated Shield Plan Insurers Now Cover Sinovac Vaccine Complications

All seven insurers offering Integrated Shield Plans in Singapore have extended their in-patient hospitalisation coverage to include complications arising from Sinovac vaccinations administered under the special access route. This expanded coverage applies to policyholders who received a World Health Organisation-approved Covid-19 vaccine via this special route in Singapore. The current provision for this coverage is set to last until December 31 this year.
Insurers Providing Extended Coverage

The seven insurance companies that provide Integrated Shield Plans and are now extending their coverage to include complications from Sinovac vaccinations are AIA, Aviva, AXA, Great Eastern Life, NTUC Income, Prudential, and Raffles Health Insurance. This move ensures that policyholders opting for the Sinovac vaccine through the special access route receive the same level of in-patient hospitalisation benefits for any resulting complications as they would for other approved vaccines.
Scope of Coverage for Sinovac Vaccines

The newly expanded coverage specifically applies to individuals who receive a Covid-19 vaccine that has been approved by the World Health Organisation under its Emergency Use Listing and is administered in Singapore through the special access route. Currently, the Sinovac vaccine is the only one available in Singapore under this specific route. This means that if a policyholder experiences complications requiring hospitalisation after receiving the Sinovac vaccine via this channel, their Integrated Shield Plan will cover these costs.
Duration of Coverage

The extended in-patient hospitalisation coverage for complications from Covid-19 vaccinations, including those administered under the special access route, is in effect until December 31 this year. The Life Insurance Association, Singapore (LIA Singapore) has indicated that it will work with the Integrated Shield Plans insurers to regularly review the situation and consider any extensions to the coverage period as circumstances evolve. This approach allows for flexibility in response to the ongoing vaccination efforts and the broader public health landscape.
