    SINGAPORE would be able to immunise about 80,000 individuals a day once it sets up all 40 Covid-19 vaccination centres across the island, Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary said on Monday.

    These vaccination centres will be located in high population catchment areas and along public transport routes for greater accessibility, he told Parliament in response to a slew of questions surrounding Covid-19 vaccines.
