*In response to the Straits Times article published on 23 Feb 2021 stating the probability of swollen lymph nodes post COVID-19 vaccination may cause confusion in mammogram images interpretation, we would like to remind participants before registering for a mammogram appointment as following:
Please register a date before the start of vaccination, or;
6 weeks after first dose before receiving the 2nd dose, or;
6 weeks AFTER completion of the last dose of the vaccine (2nd dose/ booster dose).
The Community Mammobus Programme is from 9am to 4pm. Please select your preferred date and location, we will allocate the appointment time based on a first come first serve basis. The maximum number of screenings per day is 25 pax. We will inform you if your preferred date is fully booked and provide the option of another alternative date and location.
