How do people know that they have the condition? :? Only after adverse reaction?
Is there a pre-test available before the vaccination? :scratchhead:

Also, those 50 and older - including those who have taken a second booster - should receive a booster shot between five months and a year from their last dose.

People will be considered up-to-date with their Covid-19 vaccinations if they have at least the minimum protection and their last vaccine dose was within the past year.

my qn: does this mean one (age 50 and older) can take its 5th jab btn 5 mth and a year from its last 2nd booster (4th dose) ?

I will try to go any JTVC next Monday (17 Oct) to check whether they allow me to take the 05th jab on spot as my 04th jab was only taken 4 months ago. Will try you know the result.

Has anyone (under 50) gone for their 2nd booster? I’m considering doing so.

Thx Star. I will be bringing my 11-year-old asap on 25 Oct for his first booster. Heaving a sigh of relief that they managed to make it available earlier, before his 12th birthday.

We are holidaying in a small town in Europe right now, no signs of Covid or masks, everybody is so carefree & happy. Not sure why back home in SG has so many cases now. High population density?

For traveling purpose if above 50 but not taken 4th jab does it mean it’s not fully vax?

Also for those above 50,can they take the booster from comralty or do they hv to switch to moderns spikevax (only avail after mid Oct at selected centres only). I realise news reporting on this is not v clear, MOH is also not v clear
