What are the available vaccines?

1. Moderna

2. Pfizer

3. Astrazenica

4. Johnson and Johson

Do I get to choose my vaccine?

The doctor on-site makes the choice of which vaccine. You can refuse the vaccine choice but you cannot choose which vaccine. Of course you can try to request and see if the doctor is accomodating but in general, its really not your choice on which vaccine.

What happens if I refuse my vaccine?

You can refuse your vaccine. In this case, you will not be vaccinated at that point. But, you can register for the waiting list and you will be called at the end of the vaccination roll call.

What are the ways I can get vaccinated?

1. You will get an invite in a roll call. You use the invite, register for an appointment, and show-up for the appointment with the invitation letter, appointment confirmation, ID card and Social Security card to get vaccinated.

2. You can register in the waiting list. This is outside of the roll call and you may get an invite earlier than the roll call.

3. You can also register for the "left over vaccine" list. As people are not showing up for their vaccine, you will be called at the end of the day from the centre for left over vaccines. You need to (a) stay within 20mins from the vaccination centre (b) you should register it every day. (Update: this option ended on 8 May and no longer an option)
