SINGAPORE - Since mid-January, students pursuing healthcare courses in Singapore's local universities, polytechnics, the Institutes of Technical Education and private colleges have been offered the Covid-19 vaccine, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
Its spokesman told The Sunday Times that these students enrolled in such programmes undergo clinical training at healthcare institutions, where they frequently interact with patients.
