SINGAPORE - With the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 likely to be endemic, regular vaccination will be the new normal, experts said at a live panel discussion organised by The Straits Times on Tuesday (June 1).
“At some point, we will see Covid-19 being included as part of our national immunisation schedule for both adults and children, and perhaps we will need regular booster shots from time to time to make sure we continue to be protected, especially against any new emerging variants,” said Professor Teo Yik Ying, dean of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore.
