I still haven't received the 2nd msg..

U can try and re-register as the message now says if u do not get the 2nd sms within 1 business day, can resend the form. But seems there are only very limited places with available vaccine slots now.

I just tried again, but the message to try again if you don't get an SMS within 1 biz day refers to the 1st SMS, not the 2nd one. So if you have already received the 1st SMS, probably no point trying again.

I just received an sms. They say will inform us as soon as there’s available slot for booking and dont need to re register.

We received our acknowledgement SMS on 24 March 2021 late evening and only yesterday we received the appointment links. My friend who received acknowledgement SMS on 25 March also received the appointment link yesterday.

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.
