Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Vaccination & PET-Exemption
1. Will on-site pre-event testing be provided?
No, on-site pre-event testing will not be provided. Worshippers will need to visit any clinics offering

2. How will my vaccination / PET-exemption status be verified?
Worshippers are encouraged to upload their vaccination reports to our Worshippers’ Database at
https://faithmc.sg/myparticulars for pre-verification. You can obtain your vaccination report via the
Singpass App under HealthHub -> COVID-19 Records -> Vaccination Records -> Download PDF.
Worshippers can also submit a hardcopy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Report at our service / event
venues for inclusion in our Worshippers’ Database. Please note that only vaccination reports
showing a fully vaccinated status will be accepted for pre-verification (i.e. no “In Progress” reports).
Pre-verified worshippers will then be granted entry to our service / event venues upon verification

regulation/regulations-guidelines-and-circulars/details/list-of-covid-19-swab-providers) to undergo
their own pre-event testing, and bring along their test results for entry (refer point 2ii). Please note
