Vaccines required in Singapore

Hello everybody,

When living or moving abroad, and in particular in Singapore, vaccination against certain diseases is often required to enter the country or to avoid risks.

We would like to ask you a few questions to help future expats there.

What is your relationship to vaccines in general?

Did you get vaccinated before moving to Singapore?
Were these vaccinations compulsory or recommended?

Did you refuse to get any vaccine that was recommended for Singapore? If so, why?

If you are an expatriate in Singapore, are you encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine? Do you have access to the vaccine and do you plan to get it?

Is this vaccine required for entering the country now?

Many thanks,

Hi Diksha,

I reply you on the same line you sent out your kind request:

When living or moving abroad, and in particular in Singapore, vaccination against certain diseases is often required to enter the country or to avoid risks.
No at all, here in Singapore. No request from Europe, no suggestion from Singapore.

We would like to ask you a few questions to help future expats there.

What is your relationship to vaccines in general?
No problems at all, if requested, I will take it.

Did you get vaccinated before moving to Singapore?
No.

Were these vaccinations compulsory or recommended?
No.

Did you refuse to get any vaccine that was recommended for Singapore? If so, why?
No request, if needed for sure I was taking it.

If you are an expatriate in Singapore, are you encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Yes.

Do you have access to the vaccine and do you plan to get it?
Government are doing selectively vaccination by area and by age, since two weeks ago. Looking forward my turn. government will offer vaccine to all residents in Singapore.

No. They request a molecolar swab 48 to 72 hours prior departure.
