How can I get my overseas vaccination records ingested?
|
| A: | If you have a vaccination document (may be in a hardcopy or digital format)
You may visit any of the following locations to have your records verified and ingested:
a) Any Joint Testing and Vaccination Centre (JTVC) on Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 6.30pm
b) Any clinic that offers this as a service.
- A non-exhaustive list of such clinics can be found by using this link. Please call ahead to check if your preferred clinic offers this service and to book an appointment if needed. Please note that polyclinics do not provide this service.
- Clinics will charge a fee for the time and manpower needed to provide this service and handle the ingestion of records.
|
| |
What should I bring to the clinic to ingest my overseas vaccination records?
|
| A: |
Please bring along your personal identification documents (e.g. NRIC, FIN or passport) and overseas vaccination certificates, which can be in original hard copy or a digital copy. The certificates should clearly list your personal identifiers (e.g. full name, date of birth, passport number) and details of the vaccine doses you have taken (e.g. type of vaccine, date received).
Where applicable, you can also bring along documentation of a past infection (e.g. PCR test result, professionally-administered ART result, serology test result, discharge memo). If you do not have such documentation, you may have to take an anti-N serology test to confirm your past infection if you have not received an inactivated virus vaccine (i.e. vaccines such as Sinovac, Sinopharm and Covaxin). An anti-N serology test would be unable to ascertain your past infection if you had received an inactivated virus vaccine.
If your documents are not in English, please have them translated by the embassy of the country that issued the document, a translation service provider, or a notary public. Please bring along both the original documents and the translated copies. |

How can I check my vaccination records?
|
| A: |
You can view or download your vaccination records by logging in to the HealthHub app using your Singpass account. If you are eligible for Singpass but do not have access yet, please apply for Singpass in order to access your vaccination records in the HealthHub app. All Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and Long Term Pass Holders aged 15 years and above are eligible for Singpass.
If you are not a Singpass user, you may refer to your physical vaccination card, which is given to all individuals vaccinated in Singapore. |
