JTVC MOVES
After Apr 29, the JTVC at Commonwealth will close due to low demand and its proximity to JTVC Bukit Merah, MOH added.
Residents who wish to receive their COVID-19 vaccines can opt to go to JTVC Bukit Merah or a nearby PHPC.
From May 2, JTVC Sengkang will be moved to 19A Sengkang Square, next to Sengkang MRT station. The new location is “better” for the public, said MOH.
Consequently, JTVC Sengkang’s current location at 60 Sengkang East Way will cease operations from Apr 30.
With these changes, there will be a total of nine JTVCs across the island.
People can continue to walk in for vaccinations before 6.30pm on weekdays and 12.30pm on Saturdays, or book an appointment online.
“Vaccination remains our primary defence against COVID-19,” said MOH. “We encourage all individuals to take their vaccinations when eligible.”
The Health Ministry called for all returning Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders who have not yet met its COVID-19 vaccination guidelines to receive their jabs as soon as possible.
According to the guidelines, children from six months old to four years old are recommended to complete two doses of Moderna/Spikevax or three doses of Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty.
Those aged five and above should receive three doses of Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna/Spikevax or Novavax/Nuvaxovid vaccines.
And those aged 60 and over should take an additional booster around one year after the last.
