COVID-19 vaccination in Singapore has started some time ago starting with the healthcare and frontline workers getting vaccinated. Now, senior citizens are next in line. The registration website is also available. However, you should not get excited yet if you are below 70 years old.
To register for vaccination, you need to receive the invitation letter first. Currently, senior citizens above 70 years old will get to go first (from 22nd February). And from mid-March, seniors from 60 – 69 years old will get the invitation.
Singapore is doing this vaccination programme in a very systematical way, starting from the most vulnerable to the least (in terms of age group).
Some heatlh advisory about the vaccination.

- Choose a vaccination location and two time slots, 21 to 28 days apart
