National Vaccination Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial support to help Singaporeans access essential immunisations to maintain their health.

👤Who it's for

This subsidy is designed for all Singaporeans. If you hold Singaporean citizenship, you are eligible to access these healthcare benefits.

🎁What you get

The main benefit of this scheme is the reduction of medical costs related to immunisation. Depending on the specific vaccine required, you may receive your vaccinations completely free of charge or through a heavy subsidy that significantly lowers the out-of-pocket expense. This ensures that essential preventative healthcare remains affordable for citizens.

💰What it costs you

While the vaccines themselves are heavily supported by the government, there are practical steps and minor considerations involved. You will need to invest your time by attending an appointment at a designated healthcare provider. These appointments are typically held at a polyclinic or a GP clinic. You should plan your schedule accordingly to ensure you can visit these locations during their operating hours.

⚠️The catch to know

It is important to understand that this subsidy is not an all-encompassing healthcare coverage for every possible shot. The financial support is specifically restricted to vaccines that are listed on the National Adult Immunisation Schedule. Before you visit a clinic, you should verify that the specific vaccine you are seeking is part of this official schedule to ensure you receive the subsidy.

📝How to apply

1. Verify that the specific vaccination you require is included on the National Adult Immunisation Schedule.
2. Locate a participating polyclinic or GP clinic in your area that provides these services.
3. Book an appointment at your chosen healthcare provider to secure a time slot.
4. Attend your appointment and present your identification to the clinic staff to confirm your eligibility for the subsidy.
