What is the recommended interval between doses?

 

Unvaccinated persons aged 6 months and above should receive two initial vaccine doses at an interval of eight weeks apart.

 

Individuals, particularly those who are at risk for exposure to COVID-19 or severe disease, may receive the second dose earlier than eight weeks after the first dose but not less than the minimum intervals (21 days for the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Novavax/Nuvaxovid vaccines and 28 days for Moderna/Spikevax and Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccines).

 

Keeping updated in 2024

 

An additional dose of vaccine to be administered around 1 year (and no earlier than 5 months) after the last dose received to keep up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccination. The additional dose is:

  • Recommended for all persons aged 60 years and above, medically vulnerable individuals and residents of aged care facilities;

  • Encouraged for all individuals aged 6 months and above, in particular, healthcare workers, as well as household members and caregivers of medically vulnerable individuals.

Under the NVP, vaccination is free for all eligible Singaporean Citizens, Permanent Resident, Long Term Pass Holders and certain Short Term Pass holders. Under the NVP, vaccination is free for all Singaporean Citizens, Permanent Resident, Long Term Pass Holders and certain Short Term Pass holders.
