Special financial assistance will be given to those who suffer serious side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine, said Health Minister Dr Adham Baba.


However, he stressed that this is a proactive measure from the government to face the possibility of adverse effects of using the vaccine.


Those who have serious side effects and require long-term hospital treatment due to the Covid-19 vaccination will be eligible to receive up to RM50,000.


Also, one can receive up to RM500,000 if the vaccination were to cause permanent disability or death.
