SINGAPORE — People found to have been infected with Covid-19 but performed only an antigen rapid self-test on their own should get a booster vaccine dose, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Saturday (Jan 29).

They are advised to get the booster shot from about five months after the last dose of their primary vaccine jabs, so as to maintain their full vaccination status beyond the initial 270 daysThis also applies to those who were discovered to be Covid-19 positive after undergoing rostered routine testing or pre-event testing.

For recovered Covid-19 patients whose infection is reflected in their medical records via the HealthHub portal, they can choose not to take the booster dose, said the ministry. This covers people who saw a doctor when they were infected or whose infection was detected when they travelled into Singapore.

"A booster dose will confer longer protection into the future. As recommended by expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination, it is safe for persons who have recovered from Covid-19 to receive a booster dose," it said.
