You may receive the COVID-19 vaccine before or after your flu vaccine. The current recommendation is to space the COVID-19 vaccination apart from other non-COVID-19 vaccinations for two weeks or more.
Anyone here planning to take flu vaccines here? I wonder what spacing I need to give between Covid and flu vaccines.
Better check with the clinic/doctor again when you book your flu vaccine.
Stay safe.

'No truth' in India news reports claiming Singapore variant of COVID-19 virus: MOH
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday (May 18) said that there is “no truth whatsoever” in the assertion in several news reports in India that there is a Singapore variant of the COVID-19 virus.
The claims were reported in articles published by the Hindustan Times and NDTV, both publications from India.
The articles quoted tweets from Delhi’s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was cited as saying that the new strain is “extremely dangerous for children” and could result in a third wave of infection in India.
MOH said in response on Tuesday that “there is no ‘Singapore variant’”.
“The strain that is prevalent in many of the COVID-19 cases in recent weeks is the B16172 variant, which originated in India,” it said.
“Phylogenetic testing has shown this B16172 variant to be associated with several clusters in Singapore.”
Two COVID-19 sub-variants from India have been detected among imported and community cases in Singapore, including those who have been linked to the Tan Tock Seng and Changi Airport clusters......

politician no excuse to any old how shoot.[/quote]The Delhi Chief Minister is at fault for trying to associate S’pore with a non-existent new variant BUT.... S’pore politicians may be trying too hard to sell the idea of vaccination to children. There are better ways to engage the community to encourage children to get vaccinated against covid-19
Can you imagine if everyday we read news like in Australia, the covid strain is attacking young children, local government in panic mode to vaccinate all children ASAP, I am sure we will be panicking and start calling upon our government to ban Australians from coming in too.lee_yl\" post_id=\"2024541\" time=\"1621385996\" user_id=\"17023:

Covid 19 vaccination in Singapore is not compulsory. We are encouraged to be vaccinated to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

Sadly, we now have 5 Covid patients in ICU (can someone correct me - this is the highest number in a long time right?) and 215 hospitalised in stable condition.

Yes, but we must be mindful that the whole wide world is reading our news. Hope the rest of the world doesn’t misinterpret, otherwise might just end up drawing the same conclusion like the Delhi Chief Minister
