National Childhood Immunisation Schedule

The National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) comprises childhood vaccinations recommended as the standard of care for protection against vaccine preventable diseases that are of significant healthcare burden to Singapore or would be so without these vaccinations.

In consultation with the Expert Committee on Immunisation (ECI), the Ministry of Health regularly reviews vaccination policies and inclusion of vaccines into the schedule, taking into consideration local disease burden, vaccine safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of the vaccines. This ensures that the national recommendations for childhood vaccination are up to date.

The NCIS covers vaccinations against 15 diseases - tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliovirus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chickenpox), pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus, influenza and COVID-19.

Of these, vaccinations against measles and diphtheria are compulsory for children under the Infectious Diseases Act.

National Adult Immunisation Schedule

The National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) was established in November 2017 to provide guidance on vaccinations that individuals age 18 years or older should adopt to protect themselves against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Certain adults are at increased risk of complications or susceptible to vaccine preventable diseases if they have not previously received the vaccination and are in contact with individuals who have the infection. Vaccinations recommended under the NAIS aim to prevent such infections among susceptible individuals and reduce complications, morbidity and mortality.

The NAIS was developed based on international best practice and the recommendations of the ECI. Considerations include:

Local disease burden;
Age, occupation, pre-existing medical conditions, vaccination history; and
Vaccine safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of the vaccines in preventing infections among susceptible individuals and reducing complications, morbidity and mortality.

The vaccines in the NAIS protect against 13 diseases - Influenza, pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox), shingles and COVID-19.

COVID-19 vaccination matters

What is the cost of the vaccine?

The COVID-19 vaccine will continue to be offered fully subsidised to Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, Long Term Pass Holders and certain Short Term Pass holders until further review. All individuals aged 6 months and above who are eligible and wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can continue to do so fully subsidised.

Where can I get vaccinated?

All individuals eligible for COVID-19 vaccination may book an appointment at any participating General Practitioner (GP) clinic through vaccine.gov.sg/covid (opens in new tab). Appointments at polyclinics can be booked through HealthHub. Healthier SG enrollees are encouraged to visit their enrolled clinic for vaccination if the clinic offers COVID-19 vaccination. You are encouraged to contact your provider to confirm vaccine availability before making an appointment.
