Do note that if you do not meet the eligibility criteria for pneumococcal vaccination subsidies after being reviewed by your doctor, 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 pneumococcal 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.
