1. Childhood Vaccinations
Following the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS), Doctor Anywhere offers home-based childhood immunisation to protect young children against serious diseases:
- Hepatitis B – Protects against hepatitis B, a liver infection, recommended in the early stages of life.
- Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP) – A core vaccine series to prevent these bacterial infections, administered at key age milestones.
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) – Protects against these highly contagious viral diseases.
- Polio – Recommended to prevent poliovirus, which can cause paralysis.
- Chickenpox (Varicella) – Provides immunity against chickenpox and reduces the risk of severe complications. These vaccinations are scheduled according to MOH’s NCIS guidelines to ensure optimal immunity, with boosters as recommended.
2. Teen and Adolescent Vaccinations
National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) – Recommended vaccinations for adults in Singapore based on age and health status. For more details, visit healthhub.sg/vaccinate.
Singapore’s health guidelines recommend additional vaccinations and booster doses during adolescence to maintain immunity and prepare for new environments.
- HPV Vaccine – Advised for both boys and girls to prevent human papillomavirus, which can cause cervical and other cancers.
- Meningococcal Vaccine – Recommended for those in group-living settings (like dormitories) and mandatory for individuals attending Hajj and Umrah.
- Tdap Booster – MOH recommends a booster dose for continued protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. These vaccinations help protect adolescents as they gain exposure to more social settings and potential health risks.
3. Adult Vaccinations
According to MOH guidelines, adults benefit from routine vaccines and boosters to sustain immunity:
- Influenza Vaccine – An annual flu shot is recommended, particularly during flu season.
- Tdap Booster – Advised every ten years to stay protected against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.
- Hepatitis A & B Vaccines – MOH recommends hepatitis vaccinations for individuals who may be exposed to contaminated food or water or at higher risk of infection.
HPV Vaccine – Available up to age 45 to protect against certain cancers and prevent the spread of HPV. Our healthcare team can provide guidance on necessary vaccinations based on lifestyle, travel plans, and personal health history.
4. Senior Vaccinations
As per MOH’s National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS), certain vaccinations are especially important for seniors, who face higher risks from infections due to a weakened immune system:
- Pneumococcal Vaccine – Strongly recommended for those over 65 to protect against pneumonia and other serious pneumococcal infections.
- Shingles Vaccine – Recommended to reduce the risk of shingles, which can cause severe pain in older adults.
- Influenza Vaccine – Annual flu vaccination is vital for seniors to prevent severe complications. These vaccinations help older family members stay protected and maintain a higher quality of health.
5. Travel Vaccinations for All Ages
MOH also recommends specific vaccines for travellers, depending on the destination:
- Typhoid Vaccine – Advised for travel to regions with higher typhoid fever incidence.
- Yellow Fever Vaccine – Required for travel to certain parts of Africa and South America.
