SINGAPORE - Singapore is most likely to make plans to vaccinate different segments of the population against Covid-19 from next year.

Details of the prioritisation will be worked out by an expert panel, which will also study the various vaccine options. "Many of the candidates will only complete phase-three studies at the end of this year… so it'd be more likely that we would be making more plans to vaccinate different parts of our population from next year onwards."

Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said by engaging with multiple suppliers, Singapore will be able to diversify its risk in an event that a vaccine candidate is unsuccessful. The country is also exploring new manufacturers and vaccine candidates, and continues to keep its options open.
