COVID-19 Vaccination

COVID-19 vaccination will protect you and your loved ones. As more people are vaccinated, the collective protection will become more effective. To keep Singapore safe while re-opening progressively, we will test more extensively, contact trace more widely, and vaccinate more people. Find out more here.

The vaccine is free for all Singaporeans and long-term residents. From 17 March 2022, all individuals regardless of age who are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination will be able to walk in to receive their primary vaccination series and booster doses without any prior appointment every day of the week, before 7pm.

A grandma who has taken both doses of her COVID-19 vaccine despite suffering from a heart condition and high cholesterol

“I’ve had high cholesterol for about 10 years. I also went for an angioplasty (ballooning) before – for blocked arteries.

Because of my heart condition, before I went for the vaccination, I checked with the doctor at the polyclinic to ask if it was suitable for me. He assured me that it is suitable, and encouraged me to go for it. With that, I asked my daughter to help me to register for the vaccination.

I did my injections at the Community Club. The wait took about 5 to 10 minutes, and then after taking the jab, I waited half an hour to make sure everything was ok. I didn’t have noticeable side effects after the jabs.

Vaccination is important because I want to continue to be active. Every morning, I do a little exercise, then I go to the market to get food and groceries. I also want to be healthy enough to look after my 11-month-old grandson.

Because of my medical conditions, I think it’s even more important that I take the COVID-19 vaccination. I want to protect myself.”

Senior Bus Captain at SBS Transit and Ulu Pandan Bus Depot Union Leader

“I really miss interacting freely with passengers and my fellow colleagues. Life has not been the same since. There were many days where I have felt discouraged. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the transport industry tremendously. During Circuit Breaker, our ridership went down quite a bit. We also had to intensify various safety precautions for our passengers, such as disinfecting high-touch points and sanitising our buses twice a day.

That’s why I was happy to hear about the COVID-19 vaccines. I believe that the vaccine will protect myself, my loved ones and my passengers.

I was one of the first Bus Captains to sign up for the vaccination. I chose to go for the first available slot to instill confidence and encourage my fellow colleagues and union members to do the same. As a frontliner, it is also my duty to protect myself so I can protect the passengers I meet daily.

All of us have a role to play in the fight against COVID-19. Even though there is a small chance that a vaccinated person can still get infected, the risk of them falling very sick is greatly reduced!

We should all take the vaccination to protect ourselves and those around us!”

– Abdul Lathiff Mohamed Rafi, 48, Senior Bus Captain at SBS Transit and Ulu Pandan Bus Depot Union Leader
