Covid-19 vaccine bookings brought forward

At the same time, non-Singaporeans can now book their slots from 30 Jun — which is 2 days earlier.
Covid-19 Vaccine Booking For Non-S’poreans Brought Forward To 30 Jun
Most of the new 500,000 booking slots will be for Singaporeans in the 12-39 age group, which is one of the largest. 52% of people in this group have at least gotten their 1st dose or booked a slot.
Supplies aren’t in shortage as well, so Mr Ong encourages everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they’re able, earlier.
However, 25% of seniors are still not vaccinated yet for various reasons. As Singapore opens up, there’s a worry that this group may be more vulnerable to the virus.
After all, vaccinated persons can still spread the Covid-19 virus, although they are less likely to fall sick or develop severe illness.
Book your slot when you’re able
Good news for Singaporeans — you should be able to push forward your 1st or 2nd vaccination date now.
Remember, vaccines don’t just protect yourself but also those around you, especially those who can’t get the vaccine themselves.
A little civic consciousness can go a long way.
MOH will have more updates about today’s cases at night.
