Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament
Ms Cheryl Chan Wei Ling
MP for East Coast GRC
Question No. 2126
To ask the Minister for Health under the living with COVID-19 model, how long will the free vaccine booster shots remain available for those who are medically eligible.
Answer
In a pandemic crisis, Government has extended full subsidies for nationally recommended vaccinations, including boosters, that offer protection against COVID-19. As we progressively transit to living with COVID-19 as an endemic disease, we will monitor the global and local situation, and periodically review the need for booster doses of COVID-19 vaccinations, and whether they should remain fully subsidised.
