Walk-In Moderna Booster Shot Slots Available To Singapore Residents 30 Years & Older
Booster shots are important to keep our immunity against Covid-19 up over time.
Recently, the Singapore Government has started to gradually roll out the booster programme to the wider community. The latest update mentioned that eligible individuals between the age of 30 and 49 will be able to get their jabs soon.
Now, instead of waiting for an invitation, they can actually walk into several centres to get their booster shots.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) revealed this news in a press release today (30 Oct).
Safe to take Moderna booster shot if you’ve taken Pfizer/COMIRNATY
In a press release on Saturday (30 Oct), MOH shared that the booster dose has proven to reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection by around 70%, and the risk of severe illness by around 90%.
These significant amounts are partly why MOH is encouraging more people to get their booster shots once they qualify.
While most eligible Singapore residents have either taken the Pfizer-BioNtech or COMIRNATY vaccines in their earlier rounds, they need not take a similar brand for the third.
This means that those who have received either brand of vaccine can get the Moderna booster shot.
Walk-ins for Moderna booster shots available at 9 locations
Currently, walk-ins for the booster programme is already open to Singapore residents aged 60 years and above.
But from 1 Nov, all Singaporeans, Permanent Residents (PRs), and Long-Term Pass Holders aged 30 years and above who have completed their second dose at least 6 months ago may walk into any of the vaccination centres for their booster shots. No prior appointments are needed.
The list of vaccination centres offering the Moderna vaccine are:
- Buona Vista Community Club
- Hong Kah North Community Club
- Kebun Baru Community Club
- Potong Pasir Community Club
- Punggol 21 Community Club
- Radin Mas Community Club
- Tampines East Community Club
- Woodlands Community Club
- Yew Tee Community Club
Continue protecting our loved ones by building up our resistance
Living with Covid-19 is certainly not easy but it’s not entirely impossible. It remains imperative that we protect ourselves and our loved ones by getting the vaccine and booster shots as recommended.
If you have yet to get complete your first or second jabs, don’t hesitate to see to that now.
As for the rest who qualify for the walk-in booster shots, do let your friends and family know, so they can get theirs too.
