Why do I need an updated vaccine?
Viruses are constantly changing to adapt and survive in new environments—and as they spread, they become harder to contain. Updated vaccinations help us keep up with these mutations. Updated vaccines are necessary to offer protection against new variants, ensuring that you remain protected against the circulating COVID-19 strains. By staying up to date on your vaccinations, you can protect yourself and those around you.

Your doctor can advise if you are eligible to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine, in accordance with the latest Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines. These guidelines help identify specific groups who should prioritise staying up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination, as outlined below.
