Duration that Booster Jabs will Remain Free of Charge Given COVID-19 as Endemic Posture

Miss Cheryl Chan Wei Ling asked the Minister for Health under the living with COVID-19 model, how long will the free vaccine booster shots remain available for those who are medically eligible.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: In a pandemic crisis, Government has extended full subsidies for nationally recommended vaccinations, including boosters, that offer protection against COVID-19. As we progressively transit to living with COVID-19 as an endemic disease, we will monitor the global and local situation, and periodically review the need for booster doses of COVID-19 vaccinations, and whether they should remain fully subsidised.
