SINGAPORE -- Singapore kicked off a nationwide program for third coronavirus vaccine doses on Tuesday, as the country grapples with an infection resurgence despite over 80% of its population having had two jabs.
The move is a milestone in Asia's pandemic fight. While the city-state is not the first to offer at least some third shots, its status as a vaccination leader in the region means the program will be closely watched as several other Asian countries look to start boosters in October and beyond.
