Mr Lee made the announcement at Changi General Hospital on the first day of Chinese new year that the country has ordered vaccine from multiple suppliers in preparation for the vaccination programme.
He mentioned that supplies will depend on whether the vaccines arrive on time and hopes that the orders of vaccine supplies will not face any disruption.
