SINGAPORE: Singapore on Tuesday shortened the interval between the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to four weeks, as part of efforts to ensure that more of the population will be fully vaccinated earlier.The move applies to the Pfizer-BioNTech or Comirnaty, and Moderna vaccines.
Those who have already received their first dose and have their second dose appointments currently scheduled for six to eight weeks later can rebook and bring forward their second dose appointment to four weeks from their first dose appointment. Permanent residents and long-term pass holders in Singapore aged 12 to 39 can also get vaccinated on Jun 30, said the Health Ministry, earlier than the previously announced Jul 2.
About 3.3 million individuals, about 60 per cent of Singapore's population, have received at least the first dose of the vaccine. A total of 2.1 million individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.MOH said the"take-up rate" has been encouraging.
hehe. finally, booked mine. Tomorrow and end of July. :p
I guess this means they now have enough vaccines for their entire population. More than enough, probably.
