Singapore adds Covid-19 vaccine to national immunisation schedules from Oct 12
Singapore will integrate Covid-19 vaccinations into its National Childhood and Adult Immunisation Schedules starting October 12, 2026. The move aims to ensure long-term accessibility and affordability for vulnerable populations as the virus remains a persistent health risk.
Why it matters
This policy shift reflects a transition toward managing Covid-19 as an endemic health issue rather than an emergency, standardizing public health protocols.
SINGAPORE, Oct 8 — Singapore will incorporate Covid-19 vaccination into the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) and National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) from October 12, 2026.
The Health Ministry and Communicable Disease Agency (CDA), in a joint statement, said Covid-19 vaccination had been offered under the National Vaccination Programme (NVP) since 2020 to facilitate vaccine uptake during the pandemic.
