SINGAPORE — China’s Sinopharm vaccine could be available in Singapore soon, with at least two private healthcare institutions here having gotten the green light from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to import it through a special route for as-yet-unapproved Covid-19 vaccines.

IHH Healthcare Singapore and Raffles Medical Group confirmed with TODAY on Wednesday (July 28) that they had received the approval under the Special Access Route.

This route allows private healthcare operators to bring in Covid-19 vaccines that have been put on the Emergency Use Listing of the World Health Organization (WHO).

IHH Healthcare — which owns Parkway Pantai, the largest private hospital operator here — is still working out the details and could not provide an indicative date for when it will start administering the vaccine.
