Booster Shot

National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 former special adviser and health reform advocate Dr. Anthony Leachon urges the government to change the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include the third COVID-19 vaccine dose or the first booster shot.

The booster shot should be taken no later than nine months after completing their primary vaccination series and should be received at least 28 days after the infection.

Those aged 80 and above may walk in to any vaccination centre, PHPC, or polyclinic for their second booster dose starting today.

Singapore’s Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination recommends to extend the booster jab to those aged 12 to 17.
