Seven more clinics have been selected to provide the China-made Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday (2 July) night.

This means a total of 31 private healthcare institutions in Singapore are allowed to offer the vaccine, named CoronaVac, under the special access route.

"Some of the group clinics in the current list of providers are now ready to ramp up their services to help improve the wait times for individuals on the clinics’ appointment lists," the MOH said. "The MOH has thus activated another seven clinics to provide the Sinovac vaccine." This means that CoronaVac will not be covered under the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme meant for vaccines under the national vaccination programme. Only those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are used in Singapore's national vaccination drive.

This is because there is insufficient international data thus far on the effectiveness of the Sinovac vaccine against the Delta variant, it added.
