Singapore citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders who have been recommended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and who experienced a serious side effect assessed by a doctor to be related to the COVID-19 vaccination received in Singapore [1], may apply for VIFAP.
A serious side effect is one that is potentially life-threatening or fatal, and requires inpatient hospitalisation or causes persistent incapacity or disability. Persons who experience such side effects after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination may apply for assistance. All applications will be reviewed by an independent clinical panel for the severity and relatedness of the side effect to the COVID-19 vaccine received
