Vaccinations form an essential part of Primary Health Prevention from birth to old age. However, they are often neglected in adulthood.
Vaccines such as the Influenza vaccine is recommended for ALL ages, even healthy young persons, because it saves lives and reduces morbidity. They aren’t just done when travelling overseas, which is a popular misconception. They can also play a role in cancer prevention (cervical cancer & liver cancer).
Did you know that with effect from 1st November 2020, all Singapore Citizens (SCs) and Permanent Residents (PRs) can receive free or heavily subsidised vaccinations at private CHAS GP clinics under the National Adult/Child Immunisation Schedule (NAIS/NCIS)?
Almost all vaccinations under the National Child Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) are fully-subsidised (i.e. $0) while Recommended Adult vaccinations under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) have subsidies of between $35 to $125.
In addition, for Singapore Citizens (SCs) enrolled in Healthier SG and are medically eligible for NAIS vaccinations, these vaccinations will be fully subsidised at their own enrolled provider
Starting from 1st November 2020, you can also use your MediSave to pay for the co-payment cost of the recommended vaccines. Patients who are 60 years old and above can also tap on Flexi-MediSave.
See the vaccination fees table for after-subsidy-fees for Recommended Adult Vaccinations under the NAIS. The fees are also fully Medisave-claimable.
