SINGAPORE - Those aged below 45 will be invited to book their slots for Covid-19 vaccine appointments from June, if all goes as planned, said Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary on Monday (April 5).

He added that as at April 3, around 1.05 million individuals have received at least one dose of the vaccine, of which more than 468,000 individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.

Updating the House on Singapore's vaccination programme, Dr Janil said about 60 per cent of eligible seniors aged 70 and above, and close to 70 per cent of eligible seniors aged 60 to 69, have received the Covid-19 vaccination or booked their vaccination appointments to date.


Additionally, about half, or close to 500,000 of residents aged 45 to 59 have registered for their vaccinations so far.

\"We are encouraged by the strong response,\" said Dr Janil, adding that those who have registered for their vaccinations will progressively receive invitations through SMS to make appointments.

\"This may take some time given the number who have registered,\" he said, adding that about 17 per cent of those aged 45 to 59 have received the vaccination or booked their appointments.


The rest should receive the SMS by the middle of May, and they can expect a booking slot by early June, he added in response to MPs who had filed questions about the country's vaccination programme.

The number of vaccination centres has been expanded to 31 today, and there will be a total of 40 vaccination centres islandwide by mid-April, he said.

He noted that Singapore's supply of vaccines remains limited by the ability of vaccine manufacturers to deliver them, given the high levels of global demand.

\"This has resulted in limited booking slots in recent days. I apologise for the inconvenience caused to those who have not been able to book earlier. As more supplies arrive, we will progressively open more slots.\"

So far, the ones who've had the jabs aren't particularly sufferers of allergies. My husband and I both suffer from allergic rhinitis (mine mild, his more severe), but we are both still waiting for the booking SMS. And based on the announcement today, we aren't going to get it till mid-May!

I’ve allergic rhinitis for as long as I can rmbr. My 1st jab renders only numbness on my left arm for a couple of days. By 2nd eveningtime, the numbness is totally gone.

Actually looking at those places OYK is negotiating for the ATB, I don't feel anxious for my turn.


Not very keen on Australia as that was the last country I went to before Covid19 struck. Not interested in HK, Taiwan, Batam, Bintan, JB and BKK. But I am 50% interested in Phuket and NZ.

I wonder if MOH had anticipated there are many PRs living abroad (e.g. ASEAN or China/TW/HK/India) when they opened registration to 45-59 pp? They might deliberately fly back to take Pfizer or Moderna and then fly back to their place of residence which doesn't offer these 2 brands.

I also hope the authorities don't jab those FTs who've the intention of resigning from their jobs here. Some might be retrenched later this year, who knows? What a waste on these quitters. :roll:

Not sure if I'm correct -- Moderna seems like an ''exclusive'' brand that only US' inner circle allies and partners can order (??), e.g. Israel, Qatar, Singapore and Taiwan (5mil doses), as well as EU. You can't get Moderna in HK, Macau and so on.

I think 45-59 is easily = 1 million pax. inclusive of FTs and dependants.

I'm not bothered anymore either. Dates are clearer now: one daughter's graduation (if there is a ceremony) is end-June in the UK, and the other's could be anytime from 2 July in Singapore! Definitely no way to attend both, and with the state of things now, I will assume that I can only attend the Singapore one. So no hurry for the jab.
