Novavax Covid-19 Vaccine to be Available to the Public in Singapore by End of May

The first shipment of Novavax's Nuvaxovid Covid-19 vaccine has arrived in Singapore and will be offered to the public by the end of May. This vaccine will be administered at the Ministry of Health's (MoH) new joint testing and vaccination centre at the former Bishan Park Secondary School in Sin Ming, alongside 20 selected Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs).
New Vaccination Facilities to Launch

The MoH is establishing a new class of facilities designed to offer both Covid-19 testing and vaccination services within a single location. The first of these joint testing and vaccination centres is slated to become operational by the end of May. These centres aim to consolidate resources while maintaining accessibility for essential testing and vaccination services.
Expanded Access Through PHPCs

In addition to the dedicated joint centres, the MoH is collaborating with a selection of Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) to administer the Nuvaxovid vaccine. Further details regarding the specific PHPCs that will offer this vaccine are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, broadening the availability beyond the central facilities.
Novavax Vaccine's Role in National Programme

The Nuvaxovid vaccine has been incorporated into Singapore's national vaccination programme for individuals aged 18 and above. It can be utilised for both primary series vaccinations and as a booster dose. While mRNA vaccines remain the preferred option due to higher efficacy and stronger immune responses, Nuvaxovid offers an acceptable alternative for those seeking vaccination or a booster.
