Residents here need not worry about the local vaccine supply, as those for foreign travellers come from a different stockpile, one doctor said.
SINGAPORE: Healthcare providers in Singapore are receiving more enquiries on COVID-19 vaccination from Chinese travellers, following China’s reopening of its borders three years after the pandemic started.
One healthcare provider, Parkway Shenton, received 90 per cent more enquiries from Chinese travellers about mRNA jabs, said its medical director Edwin Chng. In the past two to three weeks, StarMed Specialist Centre has also received about three enquiries daily on mRNA jabs, up from the five calls per week previously.
Parkway Shenton is ramping up manpower in its clinics to handle more patients, ahead of the expected surge in demand for vaccinations. “So, naturally, Singapore is a popular destination for Chinese tourists and they're starting to explore whether they are able to get the vaccines through clinics in Singapore,” he said.Clinic representatives who spoke to CNA said they have also been receiving administrative requests from Chinese nationals to update their vaccination records. One clinic, Doctor Anywhere, has also seen a rise in enquiries from Chinese travellers about COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests.
