COVID-19 DAY CHART
INTERVAL BETWEEN COVID-19 VACCINE DOSES SHORTENED TO 4 WEEKS
The interval between the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine has been shortened to four weeks , announced MOH on Tuesday.
This is as part of efforts to ensure that more of the population will be fully vaccinated earlier, said the ministry. Previously, the minimum interval was six to eight weeks.
Permanent residents and long-term pass holders in Singapore aged 12 to 39 can also get vaccinated on Jun 30 - earlier than the previously announced Jul 2.
This is due to the steady vaccination take-up by Singapore citizens and new registrations from citizens aged 12 to 39 years old tapering off, said MOH.
As of Wednesday, Singapore has reported a total of 62,579 cases and 36 fatalities from the disease.
