Dear Multi-Ministerial TaskForce,

RE: Why must Singapore Citizens pay for Sinovac ?

We have given millions of dollars worth of  FOC vaccinations to FOREIGN workers and domestic workers but want to charge Singapore citizens for vaccines of their choice/medical reasons which the government has already purchased earlier this year. What is the rationale for this? Please do not treat us worse than the foreigners. We are Singapore Citizens and many are pioneers.  An inactivated virus vaccine of our choice is available and approved by the WHO. Why discriminate? Now they have put in a monetary/insurance deterrent on even those who need the Sinovac vaccine for legitimate medical reasons and these vaccines have been purchased and delivered since February 2021.

Would the MTF kindly consider including the Sinovac Vaccine in the national Covid Vaccination Programme offered free of charge, especially to our citizens who have medical contraindications to the mRNA vaccines.

Yours Sincerely,

Concerned Singapore Citizens
