Novavax COVID-19 vaccine available at some GP clinics until May 31

This includes those who have received either of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Novavax JN.1 vaccines in 2024 or 2025. 

People receiving the vaccine as an additional dose should do so around one year, and at least five months, from the last vaccine dose. 

Individuals can book an appointment for vaccination from Friday.

Those who want to get the vaccine should do so by May 31, 2026, as the JN.1 vaccine formulation will no longer be supplied by the manufacturer once the current stocks expire, CDA said. The JN.1 Novavax vaccine will not be available under the national vaccination programme afterwards.

The LP.8.1 Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines will continue to be offered. 

Under Singapore’s national vaccination programme, COVID-19 vaccination is free for all eligible individuals.

“COVID-19 waves will continue to occur from time to time and can cause severe disease among those who are older or medically vulnerable,” CDA said.

“To increase their protection against severe disease, we encourage everyone, especially those aged 60 years and above, medically vulnerable individuals or residents of aged care facilities to remain updated with their vaccination based on the prevailing recommendations, much like vaccination against influenza.”
