Good to know
Why one jab covers several diseases
The 6-in-1 vaccine combines six vaccines (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Hib and hepatitis B) in a single injection, so your baby needs fewer needles. At 4 months and for the 18-month booster your baby gets the 5-in-1 instead, which is the same jab without hepatitis B. The MMRV at 15 months combines the second dose of MMR and chickenpox. The first dose at 12 months is given as separate MMR and chickenpox jabs, because the combined MMRV as a first dose slightly raises the chance of a fever-related seizure in this age group.
Are they free?
Eligible Singapore Citizen children get the nationally recommended vaccines on MOH's Subsidised Vaccine List fully subsidised at CHAS GP clinics, and eligible citizen and PR children can get up to full subsidies at polyclinics. You can also use MediSave for childhood vaccinations. Children who are neither citizens nor PRs are not covered by these subsidies.
What if we miss a dose?
Do not restart the whole course, a catch-up schedule is used to get back on track. Speak to your polyclinic or paediatrician as soon as you can, and bring your child's health booklet so they can see what has been given.
Where to get them
You can get NCIS vaccines at polyclinics, many CHAS GP clinics, and paediatricians. School-based jabs (Primary 5 Tdap-IPV and the Secondary 1/2 HPV for girls) are usually given in school by the Health Promotion Board.
Special case: hepatitis B
If the mother is hepatitis B positive (HBsAg+), the baby follows a slightly different early schedule (an extra monovalent hepatitis B dose at 1 month). Your hospital will advise, this does not apply to most babies.
Frequently asked questions
Which childhood vaccinations are compulsory in Singapore?
By law, only vaccination against diphtheria and measles is compulsory. In practice, all the vaccines on the NCIS are strongly recommended and the great majority of families follow the full schedule.
Are baby vaccinations free in Singapore?
For Singapore Citizen children, NCIS vaccines on MOH's Subsidised Vaccine List are fully subsidised at CHAS GP clinics, and citizen and PR children can get up to full subsidies at polyclinics. MediSave can also be used. Children who are neither citizens nor PRs are not covered by these subsidies.
When does my baby get the 6-in-1 vaccine?
The 6-in-1 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB) is given at 2 and 6 months, and the 5-in-1 (DTaP-IPV-Hib), which leaves out hepatitis B, at 4 months and as the booster at 18 months. The two 6-in-1 doses also give the 2nd and 3rd doses of hepatitis B.
When is the PCV (pneumococcal) vaccine given?
PCV13 is given at 4 months and 6 months, with a booster at 12 months.
What if my baby misses a vaccination?
You do not start over. A catch-up schedule brings your child back on track, so see your polyclinic or paediatrician promptly and bring the health booklet.
Do I need the flu vaccine for my baby?
Seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended yearly for all children from 6 months to under 5 years, and for older children with certain health conditions.
When is the HPV vaccine given?
The HPV vaccine is offered to girls in two doses during Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 under the school health programme. The Primary 5 school jab is the Tdap-IPV booster, not HPV.
Where can I see my child's vaccination records?
Your child's immunisation records are in the National Immunisation Registry, viewable on HealthHub with Singpass. Keep the physical health booklet for appointments too.
