I thought sg govt said they foot the bill for covid related medical situation?

Now they say your medishield, medi whatever and private insurance to pay?

Then where's the honoring of words that govt to pay for vaccinated people if hospitalized or requiring medical attention related to vaccination or covid?

To qualify for Vifap, the individual must be a Singaporean, permanent resident or long-term pass holder who was vaccinated under the national Covid-19 vaccination programme in accordance with the recommendations of the Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination.

He must have then experienced a serious side effect that required inpatient hospitalisation, caused persistent incapacity or disability, or was fatal, which was assessed by a doctor to be related to the individual's Covid-19 vaccination.

Each application will be evaluated by an independent clinical panel appointed by MOH.
