Good deals for getting vaccinated
At a press conference, the multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19 said that larger gatherings and Covid-19 testing in lieu of the Stay Home Notice is being considered for vaccinated individuals.
Furthermore, with higher vaccination numbers, Singapore will be looking to live with Covid-19 as an endemic disease.
However, there are some individuals who are still sitting on the fence and unsure about whether they should receive the vaccine.
Besides the health benefits that come with the vaccine, more promotions and deals by Singaporean retailers might be one of the ways to incentivise more Singaporeans to get jabbed.
