SINGAPORE: People found to have been infected with COVID-19 - but performed only an antigen rapid test on their own - should get a booster vaccine dose, said the Ministry of Health on Saturday .

If their infection is reflected in their medical records, via HealthHub, 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. Nevertheless, the ministry recommended that people who have recovered from COVID-19 get a booster shot.

"Our vaccination centres have been instructed to administer the booster dose to you and you will not be turned away."MOH said it is working on a calculator on its website to help people determine if they need to take boosters to extend the validity of their vaccination status.

I got hives after taking the third shot. Losing much sleep ever night because of my condition. Have a friend who having problems walking after taking the booster. There are people suffering from the side effects.

I had 2 Pfizers and 1 Delta after that. So I will never take another vaxx. Omni is proven not to be deadly. I don't need to enrich the pharma firms further by their fear mongering. The Omni will infect boosted ppl anyway.

he over ordered booster shots from shopee

Looks like booster shots can be a miracle cure for everything including insomnia, diarrhea and snake bites.

Trying to hide the true number of covid cases in Singapore creates an absurd situation with 2 types of covid: - the VIP covid with more rights - the 2nd class covid with no rights 🤣😂😅

This is the definition of insanity - keep doing the same thing but expecting another result.

How is that any clear indication, my uncle tested positive by ART after getting booster.

Muhammad Qasim has seen in many dreams exactly how Islam and Muslim Ummah will rise again in the entire world.

Not for any health benefit - simply so the process-driven MOH can tick a box and report their numbers.
