Most people think of vaccinations as something for children, but adult immunity wanes over time — and some vaccines are better given as adults in the first place. Staying current protects you from illnesses that can be serious in adulthood (flu, pneumonia, shingles, hepatitis), keeps you fit to travel, and helps protect the people around you.
You don't need to remember every vaccine you ever had. Bring whatever records you do have to your consultation, and Dr Joel will work out what's missing, what's due, and what you actually need — without giving you anything you don't.
All of the common adult vaccines below are available at the Jurong clinic. Click through on the ones with dedicated pages for more detail on timing, cost and what to expect.
If you're not sure what you've had or what you need, don't worry — that's the point of the consultation. Bring what records you have and we'll work it out together.
Mild soreness, redness, or tiredness for a day or two after vaccination is normal. Serious reactions are rare, but Dr Joel will let you know what signs to watch for.
Bring whatever records you have, and Dr Joel will sort out the rest — in one visit. Same-day appointments available at the Jurong clinic.

What adults in Singapore most often ask about vaccinations.
Most adults in Singapore should be up to date with childhood catch-up vaccines (MMR, hepatitis B, chickenpox if not had it), the annual flu vaccine, HPV for eligible age groups, pneumococcal and shingles vaccines from around age 50, and travel vaccines based on destination. What you actually need depends on your age, medical history, what you had as a child, and where you are travelling. A short consultation with Dr Joel can sort this out in one visit.
Yes — vaccines are administered by a doctor after a brief consultation to check your medical history, allergies, any current illness, and confirm the vaccine is appropriate for you. WhatsApp 8893 3757 to book a same-day slot at the Jurong clinic.
Bring your NRIC or passport, any past vaccination records you have (including your childhood health booklet, if available), a list of current medications, and details of any allergies. For travel vaccinations, bring your travel itinerary and departure date — some vaccines need to be given 2–4 weeks before travel.
In most cases, yes. Several vaccines can be given safely at the same visit, typically in different arms or at separate injection sites. Dr Joel will advise if any need to be staggered — for example, live vaccines sometimes need to be spaced apart, and some travel vaccines need a specific schedule.
Mild soreness, redness or swelling at the injection site is common and settles in 1–2 days. Some people get a mild fever, fatigue, or muscle aches for 24–48 hours. Serious reactions are rare but possible — seek urgent medical help for severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, facial swelling) or a high persistent fever.
Most vaccines take 1–2 weeks to build a protective immune response after a single dose, and 2–4 weeks after completing a multi-dose schedule. This is why travel vaccines are ideally given at least 2–4 weeks before departure. Your doctor will tell you what to expect for each specific vaccine.
MediSave can be used for selected vaccines under the Nationally Recommended Vaccines list, including influenza, pneumococcal, HPV, hepatitis B and others — subject to eligibility criteria and withdrawal limits. Travel vaccines are typically not MediSave-claimable. Dr Joel's team can confirm eligibility before you book.
Yes — Dr Joel Foo's Jurong clinic provides travel vaccinations and pre-travel consultations for Singaporeans travelling regionally or further afield. Common travel vaccines include hepatitis A, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever and others depending on destination. Book at least 2–4 weeks before travel where possible.
