SINGAPORE, Jan 29 Some 40 Covid-19 vaccination centres will be set up here, with each centre able to deliver an estimated 2,000 injections a day, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said yesterday.
More of these centres will be set up over the next few weeks at areas that attract a large population or along major public transport routes to ensure that everyone can conveniently get their vaccinations, it said in a statement.
Teck Ghee Community Club in Ang Mo Kio will start the vaccination drive from Feb 1. Both centres can each administer shots to 2,000 residents daily.
Vaccinations are also being given at polyclinics within Tanjong Pagar and Ang Mo Kio. The two towns were selected as they have more elderly residents.
This is how the process works:
Step 1: Booking your appointment
Elderly residents who require help in booking their appointments can head to the community clubs where volunteers will help them with the process. You must bring along your NRIC.
Step 2: Vaccination day
Head to the venue with your vaccination card and NRIC. After answering a few questions about your medical history, you will be directed to a waiting area.
There will be one community vaccination centre in each of the 24 HDB towns by end-March, as the nation ramps up its Covid-19 vaccination drive, with the elderly starting to get their jabs from today.. Read more at straitstimes.com.

SINGAPORE - Each of the 24 towns here will have one community vaccination centre by end-March capable of delivering 2,000 vaccinations a day, as the nation ramps up its Covid-19 vaccination drive.
This will ensure that when more vaccines arrive, they can be quickly distributed to the population, in particular the elderly, explained Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday (Jan 26) during a visit to the community vaccination centre at Tanjong Pagar Community Club (CC).
