What are National Adult Immunisation Schedule Vaccine Subsidies?

The Ministry of Health provides subsidies for vaccines on the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) administered at Public Healthcare Institutions to ensure that patients have access to more affordable care.

The National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) provides guidance on vaccinations that persons aged 18 years and older should receive to protect themselves against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Certain adult groups are more susceptible to, or at risk of, acquiring vaccine preventable diseases if they have not previously received the vaccination and are in contact with individuals who have the infection.

Vaccines recommended under the NAIS helps reduce risk of infections among susceptible individuals and related complications, morbidity and mortality.

What are the benefits?

Singapore Citizens are eligible for up to 75% subsidies, while Permanent Residents are eligible for 25% subsidies.

Subsidy levels are determined through household means-testing using Monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI)1 to account for the overall financial resources of the household to support the household members. For households with zero PCHI, the Annual Value2 of their residential property is used to determine subsidy levels.

The current subsidy framework for vaccines on the National Adult Immunisation Framework (NAIS) is as shown below.

Current NAIS Subsidy Level

Monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI)

Singapore Citizen

Permanent Resident

No PCHI

Annual Value ≤ $25,000: 75%

Annual Value > $25,000: 50%

25%

$0 < PCHI ≤ $2,300

75%

PCHI > $2,300

50%

Effective as of 1 Oct 2024

1 Monthly PCHI is computed as the total gross household monthly income divided by the total number of family members living together in the household. Gross monthly household income includes basic employment income, trade/self-employed income, overtime pay, allowances, cash awards, commissions, and bonuses.

2 Annual Value is the estimated gross annual rent of a property if it were to be rented out, excluding furnishings and maintenance fees. It is determined by IRAS, and may be checked via mytax.iras.gov.sg. Subsidy levels in 2024 will be determined using 2023 Annual Values.

Who is eligible?

All Singapore Citizens (SCs) and Permanent Residents (PRs) who meet the criteria for vaccination under National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) are eligible for subsidies for nationally-recommended vaccinations. You may view the criteria by accessing the link.
