1st<\/sup> of May 2021 might just be a special day for me. It is the day I chose to get my first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19<\/a> Vaccine. I am grateful to be in Singapore and to be able to choose between Pfizer-BioNTech (Pfizer for short now) and Moderna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this post is to record it on my blog as a reminder of the experiences I got during the process (just like how I recorded my Lasik experience<\/a>). Do be reminded that the experience that I described differs from person to person and cannot be a reference for everyone.<\/strong><\/em> Do check with your local authorities (MOH in Singapore<\/a><\/strong>) and\/or reliable sources to get up-to-date COVID-19 information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Singapore Process of Getting Vaccinated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Singapore, the Government acted fast to secure stock for three types of vaccines – Pfizer, Moderna, and Sinovac. As of this writing, only Pfizer and Moderna are approved by HSA (Health Science Authority).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Singapore vaccination process started with frontliners, gradually to those with a higher risk of infection and finally to residents. We started with senior citizens<\/a> and gradually moved towards the younger age groups. For my age group, I was able to register my interest from the 24th<\/sup> of March 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Singapore, we will need to go to a website to register our interest<\/a> if the age group is being selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
