SINGAPORE - The nation s Covid-19 vaccination drive has been brought forward for all seniors, and will also be extended to more high-risk groups and essential workers, including teachers, postmen and migrant workers.
This is possible because more supplies of the vaccine have arrived, said the Health Ministry on Monday (March 8).
As at Sunday, more than 596,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been administered.
In total, about 379,000 individuals in Singapore have received at least the first dose; of whom more than 217,000 have received their second dose, the MOH said.
However, it said on Monday that all seniors in this age group will now get their invitation letters within the next few days.
