2-dose Covid-19 vaccination to have limited validity; booster shot required to be fully vaccinated: Ong Ye Kung

The Ministry of Health is currently consulting the expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination on the appropriate duration of this validity period before a person's full vaccination status lapses, he added.

Currently, a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after he or she gets a second jab of either the Moderna or Pfizer-BionNTech Covid-19 vaccine. This means that if a person does not take a booster short before the validity period expires, he or she will not be considered fully vaccinated and will not be able to dine in or participate in activities that are only open for fully vaccinated individuals.However, Mr Ong said that a person's full vaccination status will not lapse if he or she have not had a chance to get a booster shot.

Describing these as"significant moves", Mr Ong said that this means that in December 2021 and January 2021, Singapore will administer 2.1 million doses of vaccines.

What!!

I expect a 4th dose next year when Singapore gets hold of omicron tailored vaccines and roll them out.

Nowday, you push people to get the 3rd jab. Than 4, 5 ,6 and never ending
