Individuals who have received the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine are not included in Singapore's national vaccination numbers.
"The national vaccination numbers reflect only those vaccinated under the national vaccination programme," the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (July 6).
"Currently, this only includes those vaccinated with the Moderna Covid-19 and Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccines."
The Sinovac vaccine has shown variable protection across multiple studies carried out internationally, with the most complete analysis showing an efficacy of 51 per cent. In contrast, the Moderna Covid-19 and Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccines have shown an efficacy rate of around 90 per cent.
