Janil Puthucheary on supply of updated COVID-19 boosters
The current recommendation for COVID-19 vaccinations is for seniors aged 60 years and above and medically vulnerable persons to achieve minimum protection and get the updated bivalent booster around one year after their last booster dose. This will naturally include the second booster shot. Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary said this in reply to MPs’ questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Jul 4). He said the COVID-19 vaccines offered under the National Vaccination Programme have been assessed to be safe and the benefits continue to outweigh the associated risks. He also said Singapore’s contracts enable it to procure the latest vaccines should they be assessed to be appropriate for the local situation.
