MOH to conduct more studies on COVID-19 vaccines immunity duration: Janil
SINGAPORE The Ministry of Health (MOH) will be conducting further studies to monitor and review the extent and duration of immunity provided by the COVID-19 vaccines, said Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary in Parliament on Monday (5 April). This includes collecting selected post-vaccination samples from groups such as healthcare workers, frontline staff and seniors to monitor the persistence of antibodies up to 24 months, Dr Janil replied, in response to questions by Members of Parliament (MPs) on the vaccination process in Singapore.
More details on the studies will be shared once they are completed, said Dr Janil, adding that there are no plans to serologically test those who have been vaccinated, which are currently in line with international practices.
