PAP are now ramping up the vaccination rate to try and counteract that.
from MOH report 29 June 2021:
COVID-19 VACCINATION DOSE INTERVAL TO BE SHORTENED AS NATIONAL VACCINATION PROGRAMME IS ACCELERATED
We continue to make steady progress with our national vaccination programme. As of 28 June, we have administered more than 5.3 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Around 3.3 million individuals, or about 60% of our population, have received at least the first dose of the vaccine. 2.1 million individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.
2. Take-up rate has been encouraging. As of 28 June 2021, about 76% of eligible seniors aged 60 and above, 78% of eligible persons aged 45 to 59, and 73% of eligible persons aged 40 to 44 have received their COVID-19 vaccination or booked their vaccination appointments. Almost 80% of Singapore Citizens (SC) aged 12-39 years, including MOE students, have also received vaccinations or booked their appointments. Since 24 June, about 50,000 have also brought forward the date of their vaccination appointments for their first dose.
3. We strongly encourage SCs aged 12-39 years who have not yet registered and booked their appointments to do so quickly, so that they can be protected against COVID-19 as early as possible.
Shortening Dose Interval, Speeding Up Vaccinations
4. On 18 May 2021, we extended the interval between the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccines in our national vaccination programme to an interval of 6 to 8 weeks. This was to maximise first dose coverage within our population. As we confirmed our supply delivery and ramped up our vaccination rate, we expect that the majority of the population in Singapore will have been offered and received their first dose vaccination in the second half of July. By then, we would have achieved our objective of giving as many people as possible good protection.
5. Hence, from 29 June 2021 onwards, we will shorten the minimum interval between the first and second doses of the vaccine from 6 to 8 weeks, to 4 weeks for both the Pfizer-BioNTech / Comirnaty and Moderna vaccines. This will ensure that more of our population can now be fully vaccinated earlier.
6. All eligible individuals who make their vaccination appointments from 29 June onwards will be able to schedule their first and second dose appointments 4 weeks apart. Individuals who have already received their first doses, and with second dose appointments currently scheduled 6 to 8 weeks later, can also rebook and bring forward their second dose appointments to 4 weeks from their first dose appointment. They can do so by using the same personalised booking link in the SMS that they had earlier received.
7. Given the steady vaccination take-up by Singapore Citizens, and that new registrations from the 12-39 age group has tapered off, we will also bring forward the start date of the national vaccination programme for Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass holders in Singapore aged 12 to 39 years from the earlier announced date of 2 July 2021 to 30 June 2021. This will help sustain the momentum of vaccinations and better utilise our delivery capacity. Individuals will be able to register their interest online via vaccine.gov.sg. After registration, they will be progressively invited to book their vaccination appointments via an SMS with a personalised booking link sent to the mobile number they registered with, and can book their set of two appointments, four weeks apart, starting from 30 June onwards.
Keeping Our Community Safe
8. Vaccination remains a key enabler in our fight against COVID-19 and its ability to help Singapore re-open safely can only be felt when we can collectively achieve a high level of population coverage for vaccination. We encourage all to register their interest via vaccine.gov.sg and book their appointments and get vaccinated when they are offered.

I don't think even the scientific community is sure whether the vaccines can counter or not.
It is quite clear that even vaccinated people can get covid.
But Kenneth Mak of MOH did release a piece of information recently, that out of the 5 recent cases in ICU, none was vaccinated.
from MOH report 29 June 2021:
Condition of confirmed cases
5. 129 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are well and under observation. There are currently 11 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 3 in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

from MOH report 29 June 2021:
6. There is continuing evidence that vaccination helps to prevent serious disease when one gets infected. Over the last 28 days, 23 local cases required oxygen supplementation, were admitted to ICU or passed away. 20 are unvaccinated, 2 are partially vaccinated and 1 is fully vaccinated (patient was already ill before infection).

SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Health (MOH) will no longer disclose details of each new Covid-19 case detected in the community as the country moves towards a new phase of battling the pandemic, it said in a statement on Tuesday (June 29).
Information on individuals' ages and occupations, as well as the places they visited and the dates on which they tested positive, will not be provided.
Instead, the ministry's daily virus update will now detail the progress made in the nationwide vaccination scheme, in addition to daily case numbers.
It will also give a breakdown of the number of people who have developed a severe form of the disease, and their vaccination status.
This decision was made by the multi-ministry task force tackling the pandemic, MOH said, adding that there will now be "a strong focus on preventing the virus from spreading, vaccinating our population and starting the process to transit to a new normal" as the country moves into a new phase of its fight against Covid-19.
"Besides daily numbers, we will include information on the key trends of the local situation, clusters we are monitoring, progress of vaccination and the number of people who suffered a severe form of the disease," it said.
About 3.28 million people in Singapore have received at least one dose of the vaccine since Dec 30 last year, with about 5.38 million doses administered so far.
This means that 57.5 per cent of Singapore's population has been partially vaccinated, while 36.8 per cent - or about 2.1 million people - have had the full two-dose regimen.
As at noon yesterday, 49,445 more people had received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine while another 5,298 were given their second dose under the national vaccination programme.
In Tuesday's statement, MOH noted that there is continuing evidence that vaccination helps to prevent serious disease in those who have been infected.
Over the last 28 days, a total of 23 local cases required oxygen, were admitted to the intensive care unit, or died. Of this group, 20 were unvaccinated, while two were partially vaccinated.
The remaining patient was fully vaccinated but had already been ill before contracting the disease, MOH said.

Three were in critical condition in the intensive care unit. All three are over 60 years old and unvaccinated.
