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. 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?
Since November 2020, all NCIS vaccines are fully subsidised for Singapore Citizen children at polyclinics, and free at CHAS GP clinics on the subsidised list. You can also use MediSave for childhood vaccinations. PRs and foreigners pay, though often still subsidised at polyclinics.
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, all NCIS vaccines are fully subsidised at polyclinics and free at CHAS GP clinics on the subsidised list. MediSave can also be used. PRs and foreigners pay, though polyclinic rates are often still subsidised.
When does my baby get the 6-in-1 vaccine?
The 6-in-1 (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB) is given at 2, 4 and 6 months, with a booster at 18 months. It also provides 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.
