SINGAPORE: Five new Joint Testing and Vaccination Centres (JTVCs) will begin operations from Thursday (Jun 23).
The five new centres – located in Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Merah, Sengkang, Woodlands and Yishun – will bring the total number of such centres in Singapore to 10.
These centres will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Moderna/Spikevax COVID-19 vaccines, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday.
Novavax’s Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine will be available at the joint testing and vaccination centre at the former Bishan Park Secondary School, which was the first such centre to begin operations.
“Individuals aged 12 years and above may walk into any of the JTVCs to receive their vaccination and booster,” said MOH.
It added that the vaccination centre at Raffles City Convention Centre will be closed on Jul 18, as Singapore “step(s) up more JTVCs and consolidate our resources and free up this space for other uses”.
The centre will accept bookings made via the national appointment system and walk-ins for vaccination until Jul 18.
MOH previously announced that vaccination centres will be stepped down progressively with the majority of the population vaccinated.
The joint testing and vaccination centres are set up to ensure that COVID-19 testing and vaccination services remain accessible to the general public.
