COVID-19 Vaccination Advisory

NATIONWIDE COVID-19 VACCINATION CAMPAIGN

Monday, 20th March 2023

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services wishes to advise the public that the COVID-19 vaccination program is ongoing nationwide.

Members of the public are encouraged to stay updated with their COVID-19 vaccination, and in particular, their booster doses. COVID-19 continues to be a major health risk and the new variants are a global concern since they are highly transmissible and spread rapidly.

The COVID-19 vaccines provide protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Our older people aged 60 years and above, and those who have medical conditions such as Diabetes, Heart disease, Hypertension, Cancer, and Chronic diseases are encouraged to get vaccinated for continued protection.

COVID-19 booster shot is an additional dose or doses of a vaccine given after the protection provided by the original (primary) doses has begun to decrease over time. Therefore, it is recommended for individuals aged 18 years and above to get their boosters when eligible.
