Speaking at a press conference of Singapore’s multi-ministerial task force, Ong revealed that experts are studying if Singapore should give one dose of the vaccine to as many people as possible first, and delay the second dose.
Singapore is studying if it should change its Covid-19 vaccination strategy so as to allow more people to get protection from a first dose, said newly appointed Singapore Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on May 16.
This will mean extending the time between administering each vaccine shot. Currently, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is administered 21 days apart, while the Moderna vaccine is administered 28 days apart.
