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 ≤ $31,000: 75% Annual Value > $31,000: 50% | 25% |
$0 < PCHI ≤ $2,300 | 75% | |
PCHI > $2,300 | 50% | |
Effective as of 1 Jan 2025 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 2025 will be determined using 2024 Annual Values. | ||
