  Hello, I've done a liver function test, and the result of it is that I need to get immunization against Hepatitis B.

  Does the 11B ID card covers vaccinations at polyclinics/ hospitals?

  For vaccinations/ immunizations/ injections, it's free-of-charge (FOC) only at the camp medical centre. Therefore, please proceed to the camp medical centre for jabs.

  Welcome to Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)

        

    
  The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) is a scheme by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that provides accessible and affordable medical and dental care to Singapore Citizens.

  Singapore Citizens of all ages are eligible for CHAS if they meet the following criteria: 

   

      • Household monthly income per person of $1,800 and below; OR
      • Annual Value (AV) of residence as reflected on NRIC of $21,000 and below for households with no income

   

  Family members (related by blood, marriage and/or legal adoption) living at the same address, as reflected on their NRICs, will need to apply together on one application form. All the family members’ income will contribute towards the household monthly income per person.

  Members of the public who are on Public Assistance (PA) scheme do not need to apply as they are already eligible for CHAS. 

   

  Household monthly income per person is calculated by taking the total household monthly income divided by the total number of family members living together.

   

     

   

  Application

  You can pick up a CHAS application form at any Public Hospital, Polyclinic, Community Centre and Club (CC) or Community Development Council (CDC). Alternatively, you can download the application form here. Only one application form is required for each household.
  
  Please send the completed and signed application form to P.O. Box 680, Bukit Merah Central Post Office, Singapore 911536, with clear copies of the passports or visit passes for family members who are foreigners. 
  
  Submission of NRIC and birth certificate photocopies for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents are no longer required. If you have any family members who are foreigners, we would still require photocopies of their visit pass or passport for verification purpose. You can continue to use the existing form marked "Jan 2014" for your application. The new application forms marked "Apr 2014" reflecting this change in requirement will be available at a later date.
