The Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme (VIFAP) has received 104 applications as of 3 May, said Health Minister and Multi-Ministry Taskforce co-chair Gan Kim Yong in Parliament on Tuesday (11 May).

Of these applications, 75 have been reviewed while 45 have been rejected. Of those being reviewed, 30 applications were assessed to have met the VIFAP qualifying criteria, said Gan while delivering a Ministerial Statement.

VIFAP provides one-time goodwill financial assistance to those who experience serious side-effects linked to the COVID-19 vaccines administered in Singapore. Applications are open to citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders who have received their vaccination here. In his speech, Gan also noted that, as of 18 April, the Health Sciences Authority has received 2,796 reports of suspected adverse events related to vaccines administered in Singapore.
