Singaporeans to get free COVID-19 vaccinations by end of 2020
In Singapore s fight against COVID-19, the wait for a vaccine is almost over.
On December 14, 2020, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced during a televised national address that the country had approved the use of the COVID-19 vaccine co-developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, and would look to roll out administration of its first batch by the end of the year. I am very happy to tell you that after studying the scientific evidence and clinical trial data, the Health Sciences Authority has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for pandemic use, he said.
Singapore government has decided to make the Coronavirus vaccination free for all the citizens of the country and long-term residents, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong while addressing the nation on Monday, December 14.
The announcement was made by PM Lee in a national broadcast just before a media conference chaired by the ministerial task force on Coronavirus. He said that people who are at greater risk will be given first priority, including healthcare workers and frontline COVID-19 fighters, as well as the elderly and vulnerable groups of people. Thereafter, the committee proposes to progressively vaccinate the rest of the population and to cover everyone who wants a vaccination by the end of 2021 he said while referring to a committee of healthcare professionals appointed by the Ministry of Health.
