新加坡：新加坡卫生部和传染病局表示，从星期五（10月12日）起，新冠疫苗将纳入新加坡的国家免疫计划。
SINGAPORE: COVID-19 vaccination will be added to Singapore’s national immunisation schedules from Friday (Oct 12), the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said.
该政府机构在星期五发表新闻稿称，新冠疫苗将纳入国家儿童免疫计划（NCIS）和国家成人免疫计划（NAIS）中。
The vaccination will be included in the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) and National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), the authorities said in a press release on Friday.
自2020年以来，新冠疫苗一直在国家疫苗接种计划下提供，以促进疫情期间的疫苗接种率。
The COVID-19 vaccination has been offered under the National Vaccination Programme since 2020 to facilitate uptake of the vaccine during the pandemic.
卫生部和传染病局表示：“由于新冠病毒将继续传播，并对老年人和医疗脆弱人群构成严重疾病风险，新冠疫苗将纳入NCIS和NAIS，以确保疫苗对公众仍然易于获取和负担得起。”
“As COVID-19 will continue to circulate and pose a risk of severe disease, particularly among older and medically vulnerable individuals, COVID-19 vaccination will be added to the NCIS and NAIS to ensure the vaccine remains accessible and affordable for the public,” MOH and CDA said.
根据NCIS和NAIS推荐接种疫苗的人群包括60岁及以上人群、医疗脆弱的6个月及以上人群以及养老院居民。
Those recommended for the vaccination under the NCIS and NAIS include individuals aged 60 years and above, medically vulnerable individuals aged six months and above and residents of aged care facilities.
卫生部表示，医疗工作者和与医疗脆弱人群同住的人群也应接种疫苗，以保护周围的人。
Healthcare workers and those living with medically vulnerable individuals are also encouraged to receive the vaccine to protect those around them, the authorities said.
卫生部和传染病局表示，其他6个月及以上年龄的人群如果希望接种新冠疫苗，可以继续接种。
Other individuals aged six months and above who wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may continue to do so, MOH and CDA said.
首次接种疫苗的未接种人群如果年龄在6个月至4岁之间，应接种两剂疫苗，间隔8周；如果年龄在5岁及以上，应接种一剂疫苗。
Unvaccinated individuals receiving the vaccination for the first time should receive two vaccine doses, eight weeks apart if they are six months to four years, and one vaccine dose if they are five years and older.
6个月及以上年龄的已接种过疫苗的人群应在上次接种疫苗后约一年（至少五个月）时接种额外一剂。
Those aged six months and above who have previously been vaccinated should receive an additional dose about one year, and at least five months, after their last vaccine dose.
新冠疫苗接种继续为新加坡公民、永久居民、长期签证持有者及特定短期签证持有者在参与的CHAS GP诊所、综合诊所和移动疫苗接种队（MVT）站点提供完全补贴，直至另行通知。
COVID-19 vaccination continues to be fully subsidised for Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long term pass holders, and certain short term pass holders at participating CHAS GP clinics, polyclinics and mobile vaccination teams (MVT) sites, until further review.
因此，从2027年1月1日起，直到另行审核为止，新冠疫苗接种将无法在MediSave 500/700或MediSave慢性及预防保健计划下进行申领。
As such, COVID-19 vaccinations will not be claimable under MediSave 500/700, or the MediSave Chronic and Preventive Care scheme from Jan 1, 2027, until further review.
