Siblings of a child with a Covid-19 vaccination appointment can walk in for their jab
Children being observed after receiving their Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine jab at the Pasir Ris Elias Community Club on Dec 27, 2021.
Parents or guardians with more than one child or ward aged five to 11 years old need only make a vaccination appointment under one child's name, said the Ministry of Education (MOE) on Monday (Jan 3).
Siblings of the child with the appointment may get their jabs at the same time as walk ins.
This arrangement will be available Mondays to Thursdays at the 14 vaccination centres that offer paediatric vaccinations from Jan 10.
Parents who hope to utilise this arrangement should however arrive at the vaccination centre by 7pm on these days, said MOE.
The ministry encouraged parents or guardians who have booked separate appointments for different children or wards to keep only one desired slot and cancel the remaining bookings on the National Appointment System.
