The Senior Minister of State for Health, Janil Puthucheary has announced that those aged below 45 will be invited to book their slot for the Covid-19 vaccination from June onwards. Around 1.05 million individuals have received at least one dose of the vaccine while 468,000 individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination. Other than this, around 60 percent of seniors aged 70 and above and 70 percent of eligible seniors aged 60 to 69 have received the Covid-19 vaccination or booked their vaccination appointments.
Then around 500,000 residents aged 45 to 59 have registered for their vaccination so far which is about 17 percent. Currently, the number of vaccination centres has been expanded to 31 and there will be a total of 40 vaccination centres by mid-April. The older religious worker aged 45 and above are also eligible for vaccination because staff and volunteers involved in night prayers during the holy month of Ramadan can be prioritised for the vaccine to protect them against the risk of infection as they are expected to serve at least 250 congregants a day.
