We study ideals generated by singular vectors in vertex operator algebras associated with representations of affine Lie algebras of typesAandC. We find new explicit formulas for singular vectors in these vertex operator algebras at integer and half-integer levels. These formulas generalize the expressions for singular vectors from Adamović (1994). As a consequence, we obtain a new family of vertex operator algebras for which we identify the associated Zhu's algebras. A connection with the representation theory of Weyl algebras is also discussed.
