Singapore extends its pharmacy flu vaccine program due to high demand and success.
Singapore’s flu vaccination trial at retail pharmacies, launched in October 2024, will continue beyond its initial one-year plan due to strong public uptake and positive outcomes.
As of July 31, about 1,200 vaccines were administered—well above the 200-target—mostly to Singapore citizens receiving government-subsidized rates.
Adverse reactions were minimal, mainly soreness, managed effectively by pharmacists.
The program, now expanded to eight outlets, will be reviewed for long-term integration, with pharmacy chains preparing to train more certified vaccinators.
Annual flu shots are recommended, as protection begins two weeks after vaccination, with peak seasons in November–February and May–July.
