Like the rest of the world, Singapore too has begun its COVID-19 vaccination program. As more people get vaccinated, we can perhaps look forward to fewer cases of COVID-19 in the near future. People are being encouraged, all over the world, to go ahead and get their dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, some have their apprehensions about the reported side effects of the vaccine. In this article, we will take a look at the known COVID-19 vaccine side effects you need to be aware of and the coronavirus insurance plans that insurers are offering to cover these side effects.
What are the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine? Side effects commonly reported by those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine include an onset of fever, pain in the body and at the injection side, and a general sense of fatigue. These symptoms are mostly mild in nature and go away on their own. However, there is concern as some people have been noted to suffer from more severe allergic reactions to the vaccine. For instance, some people have developed anaphylaxis after receiving their initial dose of the vaccine. They require urgent medical care through hospitalisation.
Integrated Shield Plans now cover side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine Keeping in mind the current scenario, all health insurance providers in Singapore cover side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine requiring hospitalisation in their Integrated Shield Plans. This coverage will truly help give great assurance and peace of mind. It will also encourage more people to come forward and receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
You can also get COVID-19 vaccine insurance for additional coverage Insurance providers in Singapore also offer coverage for the side effects of the vaccine through special coronavirus insurance plans. These plans generally pay you a certain sum of daily cash if you are admitted to hospital for treatment for side effects of the vaccine. This insurance plan can be bought by Singaporean citizens, Permanent Residents, and foreigners holding valid passes. You can easily get your coronavirus vaccine insurance plan online. Some insurers offer the plan easily purchased through their health apps. You simply need to be at least 18 years of age to be eligible for coverage.
What should I do if I experience any side effects from the vaccine? It is normal to experience certain mild side effects after receiving your dose. A bit of rest should help you feel better. In case the symptoms persist for more than a day, do reach out to your doctor. You may be prescribed some medication for symptom relief.
If a loved one starts experiencing extreme allergic reactions, do not wait to call the doctor. Symptoms such as difficulty in breathing or any kind of swelling on the face should be reported immediately. Do speak to your healthcare provider about getting the COVID-19 vaccine for yourself and your loved ones soon. You may also talk to a financial consultant for help in getting coronavirus insurance. We hope that this article has proved to be helpful for you. Practice social distancing, wear your mask, and stay safe.
