Singapore is in the process of rolling out the vaccination program, which started with frontline healthcare professionals and has now moved onto senior citizens. During the course of this programme, it is expected to cover the majority of the population living in Singapore.

Many people will be considering whether the vaccination is suitable for them or not. Singapore, in some ways, could also be a victim of its success in managing the pandemic, which may lead some residents to think that they may not need to get the vaccine as community infections are negligible.

In this context and the exceedingly polarised global debate around vaccines in general and COVID-19 vaccination in particular, there is a real risk that people may be making vaccination decisions based on incorrect, insufficient or irrelevant information.

To combat this and to support the Ministry of Health Singapore in its vaccination drive, the EuroCham Healthcare committee in partnership with Fresenius Medical Care are proud to bring together a variety of stakeholders to discuss the issues related to COVID-19 vaccination and provide clarity of facts to combat inaccurate information or misperceptions in the public domain.
