#SINGAPORE: The #Health Sciences Authority (HSA) on Wednesday (Sep 14) granted interim authorisation for the first bivalent #COVID19 booster #vaccine in the country.
The Spikevax Bivalent Original/Omicron COVID-19 jab by #Moderna comprises two components that target the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the #Omicron BA.1 variant respectively.
Housing estates and community spaces throughout #Singapore will see more work-study pods for residents to use, if ongoing pilots in several neighbourhoods show a strong uptake.
These pods, which are portable enclosed cubicles that can seat one to two, can provide a conducive and more private environment for residents to work near their homes, said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee on Sunday.

This is different from enshrining the definition of marriage in the highest law of the land, but will stave off legal challenges on the definition of marriage, he added."
