SINGAPORE – Two updated Covid-19 vaccines will be available from Oct 27 at more than 600 general practitioner (GP) clinics and 10 polyclinics islandwide as well as through mobile vaccination teams.

The LP.8.1 Moderna/Spikevax and LP.8.1 Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccines offer better protection against current and emerging strains of the virus compared with previous iterations, said the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) in a statement on Oct 24.

These latest vaccines have similar safety profiles as their predecessors and will be administered at vaccination locations that already provide the earlier shots.

In its statement, the CDA cited recommendations by the Expert Committee on Immunisation on who ought to get jabbed.

The group includes people who are aged 60 and older, medically vulnerable individuals aged six months and older, and residents of aged-care facilities.

“Healthcare workers and persons living or working with medically vulnerable individuals are also encouraged to consider receiving the vaccine,” said the CDA.

“Covid-19 waves will continue to occur from time to time and can cause severe disease among those who are older or medically vulnerable.

“To increase their protection against severe disease, we encourage everyone to remain updated with their vaccination based on the prevailing recommendations, much like vaccination against influenza,” the agency said.

Regarding those who have yet to get vaccinated against Covid-19, the CDA said individuals aged between six months and four years should receive two vaccine doses, carried out eight weeks apart.

Anyone aged five years or older will receive one dose of the vaccine.

Meanwhile, vaccinated individuals who are taking an additional dose of the vaccine should do so around a year after their last jab, with a minimal gap of at least five months.

The vaccines are free for all Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders and certain short-term pass holders.

The public can check
gowhere.gov.sg/vaccine to find the nearest vaccination site and the vaccine type offered.

Appointments at a participating GP clinic can be booked via vaccine.gov.sg/covid, while polyclinic appointments can be scheduled through HealthHub.

Those who are part of Healthier SG can get their Covid-19 jab at the clinic they are enrolled under, if it offers the vaccine.

The mobile vaccination teams will continue to be deployed across the island, with the latest schedule accessible on
go.gov.sg/mvt-s
