Measles immunity MDW Singapore — quick summary
Who must follow this rule
Employers with a child below 7 in the household who is not fully vaccinated against measles. The rule applies at issuance or renewal and covers all nationalities — including Myanmar helpers, Indonesian helpers, and Filipino helpers.
How to comply — pick one
Option 1: Helper is already immune
Provide evidence of completed vaccination, a positive serology, or laboratory confirmation of past infection. As a result, no further action is needed.
Option 2: Children are fully vaccinated
If all kids under 7 in the home are fully vaccinated, the helper does not need vaccination. In addition, keep records ready.
Option 3: Book MMR for the helper
MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) requires 2 doses at least 28 days apart. Moreover, call ahead for stock so the appointment stays on schedule.
