Vaccination Statistics in Singapore

Vaccines in Singapore which are under the national vaccination program are:

• Pfizer-BioNTech/COMIRNATY
• Moderna
• Sinovac-CoronaVac

Getting vaccinated also minimises the chances that one may contract the virus and if one should contract the virus, the symptoms will not be as much as those that are unvaccinated.

Received at least one dose: 4.91 million people in Singapore or 91 percent of the total population have received at least one dose or in other words are partially vaccinated.

Fully vaccinated: 4.75 million people in Singapore or 91 percent of the medically eligible population or 88 percent of the total population have been fully vaccinated.

Received booster jab: 3.02 million people in Singapore or 56 percent of the total population have received a third booster jab.

Here is the post by MOH

“With everyone doing our part, Singapore is one of most highly vaccinated countries in the world.

COVID-19 vaccines can protect us against severe illness, and a booster jab gives us continued and added protection against the Omicron variant.

Join the many who have been vaccinated and boosted. Together, we can ride out the Omicron wave safely. #getboostednowSG”
