More than 386,000 people in the Republic have received a shot of a bivalent Covid-19 vaccine since they were introduced in mid-October, the Ministry of Health said. This comes as the bivalent version of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine was made

This is compared to the general population, where about five in every 10,000 infections end up in the intensive care unit or die.MOH said on Dec 7 that about nine in 10 seniors aged 60 and above have minimum protection, and six in 10 are up to date with their Covid-19 vaccinations.

However, question marks remain over the arrival of winter in the Northern Hemisphere – when diseases, including Covid-19, tend to spread – as well asSingapore’s resilience against the coronavirus is high, Mr Ong said, noting the country has already been through three waves of Covid-19, driven by various Omicron subvariants, this year alone.

Monday marked the redeployment of such mobile vaccination teams to heartland areas, to make it more convenient for seniors to get their vaccines. As such, efforts such as the mobile vaccination teams help bring the vaccinations closer to residents. “It’s very convenient. On the way to the coffee shop or the market, you can just drop by and get your jab”, he added.
