The dosage for children will be one-third of the dosage for adults, similar to that in the US. Currently, Singapore has only approved the use of Pfizer-BioNTech's Comirnaty vaccine for children in the country.
The ministry also said Singapore has signed a new agreement with Pfizer-BioNTech to supply COVID-19 vaccines, but did not specify the volume of the order.
