Singapore’s COVID-19 vaccination programme aims to protect Singaporeans and long-term residents against the risk of serious, life-threatening disease, and even death from a COVID-19 infection.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) encourages individuals who are medically eligible, regardless of age, to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Eligible individuals can visit any of the community vaccination centres, participating Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) or Polyclinics to receive the vaccine.
Seniors aged 80 and above, those living in aged care facilities, patients who are immunocompromised and those with comorbidities and chronic illnesses, such as high cholesterol and diabetes, are advised to receive a booster dose from about five months after the last dose of their primary vaccination series*, and a second booster dose from about five months after receiving their first COVID-19 booster dose.
To support the national vaccination effort, SingHealth currently offers the primary and booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech/COMIRNATY COVID-19 vaccine to patients with complex medical conditions at our hospitals and national specialty centres outpatients, if they are medically eligible.
Our doctors will assess and discuss the patients’ eligibility for vaccination. Patients do not need to contact SingHealth institutions to make a separate appointment.
Please visit the MOH website for more information on Singapore’s COVID-19 vaccination programme and the vaccine.
*depending on whether the individual received two doses of the mRNA or three doses of the Sinovac-CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine
