For eligible HealthierSG-enrolled Singapore Citizens (i) aged 65 years old and above and (ii) adults with certain medical conditions, you are able to get fully subsidised flu vaccinations at no cost ($0) at your enrolled HSG clinic.


For those who are not enrolled with a HealthierSG clinic:


If you are an eligible Singapore citizen aged 65 years and above, the price fee caps of subsidised flu vaccinations at CHAS GP clinics are:

  • Pioneer Generation: $9

  • Merdeka Generation (from 65th birthday): $18

If you are an eligible Singapore citizen aged 18 to 64 years with certain medical conditions, the price fee caps of subsidised flu vaccinations at CHAS GP clinics are:

  • CHAS Blue/ CHAS Orange: $18

  • CHAS Green/ Non-CHAS: $35

Singapore citizens are eligible for subsidies for influenza vaccination at CHAS GP clinics if they are:

  • All adults 65 years old and older and all children ages 6 – 59 months (<5 years old).

  • Children aged 60 months (5 years) to 17 and adults 18 to 64 years old with any of the following medical conditions or indications:

  • Chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including asthma;

  • Requires medical follow-up or hospitalisation due to chronic metabolic diseases (including diabetes mellitus), renal, neurologic, hepatic, or haematologic disorders;

  • Immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications, HIV or other immunodeficiencies);

  • Persons aged 18 years (as well as those below 18 years under the NCIS) who are receiving long term aspirin therapy and therefore might be at risk for developing Reye syndrome after influenza infection;

  • Women at all stages of pregnancy; or

  • Persons receiving Intermediate and Long Term Care (ILTC) services.

Eligibility for subsidy is based on criteria for vaccinations under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) and National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS). More information on NAIS and NCIS is available here .

The remaining co-payment for subsidised vaccinations can be paid via MediSave. Do check with your preferred CHAS GP if they process MediSave claims and your eligibility to use MediSave.

Do note that if you who do not meet the eligibility criteria for flu vaccination subsidies after being reviewed by your GP, you will need to pay the charges as indicated by the clinic. Individuals are recommended to confirm the total cost with the clinic before proceeding with the vaccination.


For Permanent Residents (PRs), subsidies for flu vaccinations are available only at polyclinics for the recommended age group and those with certain medical conditions.

However, MediSave can be used to cover the out-of-pocket expense at both CHAS GP clinics and polyclinics. As the prices of vaccinations at polyclinics may vary, please check directly with the preferred polyclinic before booking an appointment.
