MOH recommends 4th vaccine dose for certain groups

The 2nd booster shot will be unavailable to the general population for now.

The Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has agreed to the expert committee's recommendation of a fourth COVID-19 vaccine dose for those immunocompromised, have a serious chronic disease, in aged care facilities, or aged 80 and above.

Minister Ong Ye Kung said the fourth dose will not be available to the rest of the population currently.

MOH director of medical services, Kenneth Mak, explained the recommended fourth dose will not affect one's vaccination status for vaccination-differentiated safe management measures. 

The ministry strongly encouraged those eligible to go for this second booster to protect themselves.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
