The new Pfizer XBB Covid-19 Vaccine is now available at our clinic for those aged 12 years and above. This is suitable for both the primary series as well as all booster doses.

We are a Healthier SG (HSG) participating clinic.

All Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) 40yrs old and above may appoint us as their family clinic to enjoy HSG benefits.

We also encourage family members aged 40yrs and above who stay in the same household of a person enrolled in HSG to also enrol with the same family doctor.

Once enrolled, you will be invited to fix an appointment to create a Health Plan unique to you. The first visit for this plan is FREE.

Your personal health plan is your road map to remain healthy through disease prevention and early detection. You will receive advice on screening tests, vaccination as well as social and allied health support that are heavily subsidised.

Do note that consultation and/or treatment fees are chargeable for any issue beyond the preparation of this health plan.

Health Planning is on appointment only. Please call us for assistance (Tel 64566582), email us at staff@familymedicare.com or book on the Health Appointment system if you are invited by MOH and given a unique link to do so.

You may find out more about Healthier SG in the official HSG Website.

Appointment is not required. Please inform our counter staff that you wish to receive the vaccination at the time of registration.

Vaccination is not advisable if you are unwell with a fever or on certain medication. Please check with your doctor if unsure.

Protection against influenza starts about 2 weeks after vaccination. You should be vaccinated not less than 2 weeks before intended date of travel. Those in High Risk category (see below) are advised to be vaccinated against the seasonal influenza viruses at least once a year.

High Risk Persons

• Persons aged 65 years or older;
• Adults and children who have chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including asthma;
• Adults and children who have required regular medical follow-up or hospitalisation during the preceding year because of metabolic diseases (including diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction, haemoglobinopathies or immunosuppression (including those caused by medication or by the HIV virus);

SUBSIDISED VACCINATION is now available for Singapore Citizens who qualify under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS). Vaccination may be free if you are enrolled in HSG under our care and fulfils national criteria.

Please call us at 65-64566582 or email us if you require more information.

Far too often, when a person is admitted into hospital, he becomes seriously ill not from the condition that he is warded for, but a bacteria infection that affects not only his lungs (causing pneumonia) but other organs as well. Sometimes, this can lead to death in vulnerable people, especially the elderly.

Pneumococcal vaccination is now offered to our senior citizens above the age of 65yrs at a highly subsidized rate. If you are a Singapore citizen enrolled in Healthier SG (HSG) under our care, this may be available free.

You will be given the Pneumococcal 13 (PCV13) vaccine and a year later, the Pneumococcal 23 (PPSV23) vaccine. Repeat doses and boosters are not needed.

Appointment is not needed but you may book a slot on the National Health Appt System if invited by MOH. If you do, we will help screen to see if you qualify before you come over.

Annual Influenza Vaccination is also available and can be taken together with your Pneumococcal Vaccination.

From 13 February 2023, Singapore has moved back to DORSCON GREEN. While MOH compliance requirements have eased, we still urge caution among the elderly and vulnerable. Simple measures like having enough rest, keeping fit and avoiding exposure to anyone who has respiratory illness will certainly help very much. Up-to-date Covid-19 vaccination is stilll urged for all who are vulnerable and is still available free of charge.

Masks are no longer required for patients and visitors but are available for the protection of those who are vulnerable or who wish a bit of extra protection.

Please approach our counter staff for a complimentary surgical mask.

Patients who are on corporate accounts are reminded to bring the necessary identification and present these at registration. Identity requirements are usually set by your Employer or the Managed Care Provider your company has engaged. Please check with your Human Resource Department for details. Appropriate identification is required at each visit.

We have a long list of corporate clients and new companies are added on continuously. Many of our clients have unique requirements. Please bear with our reception staff as they run the necessary verification. You can help us by letting us know which Managed Care Programme you are on and having the appropriate ID at registration.

An ID with your photograph is usually required in addition to whatever other non-photo ID you may have to present. If your company requires you to present an Attendance Authorisation Chit, please have this ready at registration.

If you have any queries, please contact us for advice.
