National vaccination progress
As of 1 Aug, Singapore has administered 7,638,279 doses of Covid-19 vaccines, covering 4,313,182 people, or 77% of the population.
3,448,193 , or 62%, have received 2 doses, hence completing the full vaccination regimen.
Meanwhile, 107,730 doses of Sinovac vaccines have been administered so far to 74,935 people.
Singapore on track to hit targeted vaccination rates by 9 Aug
With a vaccination rate of 62% so far, Singapore is on track to have two-thirds of the population fully vaccinated by National Day.
Once we’ve achieved this, we can look forward to a reopening that allows greater freedom to those who have received 2 doses.
Getting to work out at the gym and dine in again are just some of the ‘benefits’ to anticipate. We hope eligible individuals who have yet to book appointments for their second jabs would do so ASAP.
