Senior citizens to be vaccinated from Jan 27


The country will start Covid-19 vaccination for seniors aged 70 and above from Jan 27, starting with pilots in Ang Mo Kio and Tanjong Pagar, where larger numbers of the elderly reside.

Between 5,000 and 10,000 seniors in each of the two housing estates will be invited to get vaccinated, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong during a press conference by the multi-ministry task force for Covid-19 on Friday.
