I'm not sure there will be another of the same. Maybe another type of vaccine? But really, since Covid has lots its teeth for the vaccinated, and the 4th jab doesn't seem to do much, they may just leave it as 3 with optional boosters. And they will stop the Trace Together checkins eventually.

Hopefully, as I see no purpose for the trace together checkins now. I feel like the covid vaccination will be similar to the flu vaccination, that it might become a yearly affair.

If the 04th jab (next round of booster) is free of charge, why not just go to take it when it is available?

Introducing additional things into the body if there is no reasonable upside - I think I wouldn't bother.

Also, I think it's a waste of resources if the upside is not significant - not just the vaccine production, but also the medical staff time, logistics etc. Better to spend that effort and money on vaccinating the rest of the world, or finding a better long-term protocol, or better vaccine, or just preparing for the next pandemic.

Yes... and I think they are continuing to improve so that there will be another vaccine available to counter omicron in 3 months. So it's better to wait for that than simply shooting ourselves with something that doesn't work.

Those working in the same industry as are me strongly encouraged to take the flu jab every year. It is not mandatory currently but I think it may just be a matter of time that they require staff to be vaccinated yearly for flu since we are handling young children.


Wonder if they will come up with a 2-in1. Flu + covid vaccine. No need to jab so many times. Babies have their X-in-1 jabs where 1 jab various vaccines are introduced into their system. DS had a many-in-1(cannot remember how many) at 1yr old cos he missed many jabs due to his asthma before that.

[MrsKiasu]

If I remember correctly we had those 5 or 6 in 1 too as we need to quickly complete it for travelling.


As of now, if Annual jab is required maybe considered ‘lucky’?

I am not a medical expert (most of us here also not) and don't know whether the 04th jab is \"no reasonable upside or doesn't work\". In case, the Government is offering us the 04th jab, I believe those medical experts in the MOH must agree that the 04th jab is necessary for Singaporeans. I will just take it following the advice from the Government.
So far so good, I don't have any side effect from all jabs that I took before.
