The stocks come from what MOH already has and are eligible under the Special Access Route (SAR).
Sinovac isn’t part of the national vaccination programme.
The applicants were decided based on their ability to administer the vaccines safely, properly and efficiently.

This may prove to be a setback in Singapore reopening further.
While nothing’s confirmed yet, we do wonder if Singaporeans will be able to dine-in on 21 Jun as planned.
We’ll just have to wait and see for what the upcoming days hold. Meanwhile, we may have to be a little more patient.
