2021-11-30 Update on COVID-19 situation (30 Nov 2021):
MOH has completed a periodic update of our population numbers. Our population has decreased slightly, as individuals who have passed on or returned to their home countries outnumbered new-borns and inflows. We have therefore adjusted our vaccinated coverage accordingly. As of 29 Nov 2021, the total number of individuals who have completed their full regimen/ received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines is 96% (adjusted from 94%) of the eligible population, and 86% (adjusted from 85%) of the total population. As a percentage of total population, 87% has received at least one dose, and 26% has received their booster shots.
MOH has also been paying special attention to the number of unvaccinated seniors aged 60 years and above, who are the most vulnerable if infected with COVID-19. With the adjustment of our population base, the number of unvaccinated seniors aged 60 years and above has dropped from 57,769 to 43,611. This is because the estimated total number of persons in that age group has been reduced. After subtracting the number who has been fully vaccinated, the remainder is a significantly smaller number than the previous estimate.
