Earlier this year, while establishing Covid-19 regulations, regulators suggested a 365-day interim time frame for a person’s “completely vaccinated” status to be valid so that vaccination-differentiated safety measures could be adopted, according to the ministry. Singapore’s health ministry announced on Friday that authorities will assess a period for the validity of fully vaccinated persons on Covid-19, which is 365 plus 14 days after the second dose, as required by laws.

The Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination will evaluate the evidence and offer recommendations to the Ministry of Health (MOH) as more data becomes available, including the increase in the protection provided by booster doses, according to Channel News Asia. According to local media reports, the law specifies that a person’s completely vaccinated status expires 365 days after the second dose, plus 14 days. A newspaper reader has read the Infectious Diseases (Mass Gathering Testing for Coronavirus Disease 2019) Regulations 2021, according to a letter to The Straits Times on Wednesday.14 days following the second dose, a person is considered fully immunized. Another question was whether residents would need to get another booster vaccine if the efficacy of the booster vaccine wore off.
In its statement, the ministry stated that it periodically examines evidence from studies conducted in Singapore and elsewhere on the protection afforded by Covid-19 vaccinations. Because these studies are ongoing, when enacting the regulations earlier, they had in the interim specified duration of 365 days to allow persons who have completed the primary series of their vaccinations to be exempted from vaccination-differentiated safe management measures, according to TODAY newspaper.
