When COVID-19 first hit, the risk of being infected was much higher than the personal costs of getting the vaccine. In 2022, these considerations are very different, says Duke-NUS Centre for Outbreak Preparedness’ Dr Khoo Yoong Khean.
The fourth COVID-19 jab has been made available for groups of people in Singapore since April, with the updated bivalent mRNA vaccine available to those aged 18 and above since Nov 7.
The bivalent mRNA vaccine targets the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as the Omicron variants, such as BA.1, BA.4/5. Because of the immune evasion properties of the Omicron variants, this updated vaccine will have better protection against COVID-19. They remain well tolerated and the safety profile remains consistent with the previous version of the same vaccines, with mostly mild to moderate adverse effects.
With the increase in coverage against the new variants and a good safety profile, the decision to receive the fourth jab should be clear. But official vaccination statistics suggest that this isn’t so.

Whatever. I certainly don’t plan to have a 3rd, 4th, etc. covid “booster”.
HA! I still haven’t gotten the first one.
They will go to 1,000,000 if nobody can stop them.
Haven’t had the first one. Had COVID, recovered- it’s over.
I’ve heard of people that had over 20. They just keep going back.
Same. It’s not a vaccine either. Same as the flu shut.
Are you being serious?
IBT$$
If by that you mean, like the flu shot, it doesn't work, then you would be correct.
Yup, they’re wrong. It’s not specifically the fourth one they don’t need.
That’s what I mean.
My brain isn’t working properly due to rage from something else.
:)
That wasn’t the one I was talking about. There were several in the summer of 2021 who were getting tons of vaccines.
Yeah, I’d like to give them a shot.
The best indicator for needing another booster shot is being alive /s
Hard no from me, as always
