National vaccination progress

Meanwhile, MOH has administered a total of 8,722,819 doses of Covid-19 vaccines, covering 4,515,469 individuals. 83% of the population has received at least 1 dose.

Additionally, 167,898 doses of other WHO-approved vaccines have been administered to 85,786 people so far.

Follow Covid-19 rules & remain vigilant

Singapore’s Covid-19 case numbers are seeing a rising trend again after the detection of clusters at Bugis Junction, dormitories, and bus interchanges.

Even though we have one of the highest vaccination rates globally, we mustn’t let our guard down. History has taught us that it only takes a brief moment of complacency for cases to spread like wildfire again.

Now that we are free to head out and dine in again let’s remain vigilant. Follow Covid-19 rules, and practise good personal hygiene.

More importantly, seek medical attention right away when you’re not feeling well.
