Aviva Singapore to cover COVID-19 vaccine side effects

This is included for clients' Integrated Shield Plan, MyShield and group plans.

Aviva Singapore has extended its health insurance coverage to include expenses arising from allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine at no additional premium.

This coverage is included for their Integrated Shield Plan, MyShield, as well as group health insurance plans. The Health Sciences Authority must authorise the vaccine, and the individual must be medically eligible to receive it.

“We made this decision to assure Aviva’s policyholders who may have concerns about medical expenses should they encounter side effects from the vaccine. As an insurer, it is our responsibility to act quickly and meet the evolving needs and apprehensions of individuals, thus ensuring the country’s national vaccination effort can run smoothly,” said Aviva Singapore director of product & marketing Daniel Lum.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
