The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore just announced on 15th July 2021 that Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders who received their COVID-19 vaccination overseas will be able to update their immunisation records in the national registry in Singapore when they return home.
The vaccines must be in the following categories:
- Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Moderna vaccines approved in Singapore.
- Vaccines listed on the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing which includes the AstraZeneca and Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines.
This is the process to update your records in Singapore:
- Individuals can visit a private healthcare provider on board this initiative with documentation to show proof of their overseas vaccination.
- Go through a serology test in Singapore and obtain a positive serology test result.
There will be fees incurred in the process which will not be subsidized.
Please refer to this link for the list of approved private healthcare providers:
