Singapore’s Latest COVID Update: Moderna’s Double‑Dose Booster Gets the Green Light
What’s new? Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority announced on Wednesday that a bivalent Covid‑19 booster from Moderna is now authorised for use.
Who can get it?
- Age 18 and older
- Completed the primary Covid‑19 vaccination series
What does the booster do?
The vaccine sends mRNA instructions to the body to produce proteins that target two key coronavirus variants:
- The original 2020 strain
- The Omicron variant that caused the winter surge
Why the name “bivalent”?
The term simply means “two‑be‑in‑one.” Think of it as a vaccine that’s a multitool, guarding against two serious threats at once.
Still feeling uncertain?
For those who are hesitant, the authorities want to stress that the booster is safe and offers extra protection—just the kind of extra notch on your immunity belt.
What’s next?
Vaccination centers around the city‑state are now ready to roll out the shots. Get it soon and stay covered.
