Singapore’s health agency said that individuals who have received the Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccine won’t count as being vaccinated.

“The national vaccination numbers reflect only those vaccinated under the national vaccination program,” the country’s Ministry of Health said on Tuesday. “Currently, this only includes those vaccinated with the Moderna COVID-19 and Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccines.”
