The Health Appointment System (HAS) currently only provides appointments for CHAS GP clinics. As there are currently 700 CHAS GP clinics on HAS, the probability of locating a clinic near you, for lesser waiting time as compared to a polyclinic, will be higher. If you wish to take your vaccinations at the polyclinic, please reach out to them directly for an appointment and for the expected costs.

It is safe and common for seniors to receive the Pneumococcal and Flu vaccinations at the same time. Typically, you will be offered one vaccination on each arm. Please speak to the doctor about this.

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.

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

You can book your appointments for dose 2 and 3 at another TF-SCS clinic to benefit from the applicable subsidies. Do inform the doctor at the second clinic during your appointment so that they can refer to your vaccination record. 
Do remember to bring your NRIC and CHAS card for the appointment as well.

For eligible Singapore Citizens who had selected a polyclinic as their Healthier SG clinic, they can receive fully subsidised ($0) vaccinations for those listed under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), at their enrolled Healthier SG clinic. Individuals need to meet the eligibility criteria for these NAIS vaccinations.

For non-Healthier SG clinic enrolees, HAS is unable to provide the exact cost of NAIS vaccinations at polyclinics, as the total bill is based on a means-tested framework and may differ for each individual. If you prefer to get your vaccination at a polyclinic, please enquire directly with them on the estimated bill size.

Subsidies for the nationally recommended vaccinations are extended to both Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) General Practitioner (GP) clinics and polyclinics to enable Singaporeans to enjoy accessible and affordable preventive health services in the community. The aim is to allow Singaporeans to receive subsidised vaccinations at clinics near their homes, particularly for those who may already have a regular family doctor at a CHAS GP clinic.

As there are more than 1,000 CHAS GPs participating in this subsidy programme, many of which may be relatively smaller outfits with less operational support, the subsidies that need to be administered at these clinics are designed to be as simple as possible to reduce the administrative burden on them. Pioneers and Merdeka Generation (MG) seniors at CHAS GP clinics hence receive a fixed dollar amount subsidy, as compared to Pioneers and MG seniors at polyclinics who would receive an additional 50% and 25% subsidy off their means-tested vaccination bill respectively.

As a result of the different subsidy frameworks, it is thus possible that individuals will see some variation in the resulting co-payment for some vaccinations between CHAS GP clinics and polyclinics, even though the prices before subsidy are expected to be similar. We recognise that when the different subsidy frameworks are applied to the more costly vaccinations such as the pneumococcal vaccination, the differences in the resultant patient co-payment can be more significant, particularly for Pioneers and MG Seniors from higher-income households.

The two vaccines currently offered in Singapore are HPV2 (Cervarix) and Gardasil 9. However, subsidies are only applicable to the HPV2 (Cervarix) vaccine - this applies to both CHAS GP and Polyclinics.

If you wish to take the Gardasil 9 vaccine at a CHAS GP or Polyclinic, please enquire on the expected cost before proceeding. Gardasil 4 has been discontinued, however some clinics that still have Gardasil 4 may continue to offer them at an unsubsidised rate.

For Singapore citizen females aged 18 – 26 years, the subsidised price fee cap of HPV2 vaccination at CHAS clinics is applicable as long as the first dose is taken between your 18th birthday and before your 27th birthday. 

This means that the second and third HPV2 dose (Cervarix) will be subsidised as long as they are taken at a CHAS GP clinic. Do notify the doctor at the newer clinic so that they can refer to your vaccination record.

Those eligible for subsidised vaccination may also use their MediSave to cover the out-of-pocket expenses at CHAS GP clinics and polyclinics.

Please check with your preferred clinic if the clinic is able to process the remaining co-payment via MediSave. If they do, please check with them on your eligibility to pay via MediSave.

Any Singapore resident with a NRIC/FIN number can book an appointment via the Health Appointment System (HAS) at book.health.gov.sg. 

For the 12 year old Singapore Citizen (SC) female, HPV2 vaccination is fully subsidised at CHAS GP clinic and polyclinics. HPV2 vaccination is also offered as a school-based programme for Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 female students.

If the 18 year old female is neither a Singapore Citizen nor a Permanent Resident (PR), vaccinations are unsubsidised. However, she can still book an appointment at a clinic using HAS with her FIN number. If she wishes to get her vaccination at a polyclinic, please enquire with the polyclinic directly for an appointment and for the estimated costs.

SMS invitations for HPV vaccination were sent out to all eligible members of the public within the specified gender and age range, and is not indicative of subsidy eligibility. 
Criteria for subsidies is listed on the landing page (book.health.gov.sg/hpv) in the information section (Who is eligible for subsidies for HPV2 vaccination and How much will it cost?) for reference.

Others

All other females, including SC and PRs aged 27 and older may use this site to book the HPV vaccination, subject to your doctor’s assessment that you are clinically recommended to receive the vaccination. Please note you are not eligible for subsidies and MediSave may not be used to cover the out-of-pocket costs of HPV vaccinations.

We have checked with CSC and confirmed that vaccinations are not eligible for additional subsidy under the various types of CSC medical schemes for either officers or pensioners.

At CHAS GPs, the subsidy rate is dependent on the type of card you hold: Pioneer or Merdeka. The cost also varies depending on the type of vaccine.

The clinic will use these information e.g. your CHAS card type, type of vaccine being given, and will inform you of the amount owed. This amount is known as the co-payment and can be paid through the following means:

• Paid in cash

• Paid by MediSave

• Paid under your CSC scheme if you have attended a CHAS GP which is also a MBS@Gov clinic.

Please note that the CSC scheme does not mean that the vaccination cost is covered. It means that rather than using cash or MediSave, the amount owed is billed directly to your CSC plan, preventing you from having to submit a manual claim. If you have a remaining balance in your plan to cover your medical services, it will be deducted from the plan. If not, this cost will be borne by you.

You may wish to contact your HR who is managing your CSC plan for further details.
