Ministry of Health adds Novavax to national vaccination scheme

Singaporeans can get the vaccine for free at selected clinics.

Starting 28 May, the Novavax/Nuvaxovid XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccine will be part of the National Vaccination Programme (NVP).

The Ministry of Health said eligible individuals can get the Novavax/Nuvaxovid XBB.1.5 vaccine for free at any participating general practitioner clinics offering COVID-19 vaccination.

The Expert Committee on Immunisation has recommended the Health Sciences Authority-approved vaccine for use in Singapore for ages 12 years and above.

Individuals unable to get mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are advised to consider the Novavax/Nuvaxovid XBB.1.5 vaccine, a protein subunit vaccine, except for those who caught myocarditis/pericarditis after an mRNA vaccine dose.

The previous formulation of the vaccine had been discontinued from the NVP on 1 January when the remaining local stock expired.
