SINGAPORE – The other 130 people in Singapore who received doses of COVID-19 vaccines did not enjoy adverse events or recover without incident.
These and other figures were made through the Minister of State for Health, Janil Puthucheary, in Parliament on Monday 3 October.
Of these, 11 overdosed while the remaining 119 received an insufficient dose. Seven were older children aged five to 11 who had no adverse effects. The remaining adults had no adverse reactions or recovered without incident, Dr. Puthucheary said.
The figures, as of September 26, were among the estimated 16 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered in Singapore in total.
In response to questions from several parliamentarians about safety measures to avoid dosing, Dr. Puthucheary said that more regulations have been issued stipulating eligibility criteria, dilution and control of the recommended dose for each vaccine, in particular for COVID-19 vaccination.
All national immunization programs are authorized and regulated through the Ministry of Health (MINSA).
In case of an error in the handling of the vaccine or a post-vaccination medical emergency, those involved are obliged to inform the Ministry of Health no later than 3 hours after the incident.
Providers also notify patients without delay when a vaccination error occurs and monitor their fitness with daily calls for the next seven days.
MOH will investigate the error and if systemic issues are detected, it will work with suppliers to review and their work processes, Dr. Puthucheary said.
His comments come less than a month after two adults won undiluted COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech at the ProHealth medical group’s Hougang clinic.
Each undiluted vial is for six doses of 0. 3 ml vaccine.
The clinic and the doctor who administered the vaccine have been suspended from the national immunization program until further notice.
The Ministry of Health is recently investigating ProHealth Medical Group over the incident and will take appropriate enforcement action in the event of a regulatory violation, Dr. Puthucheary said.
“The vast majority of clinics and vaccine providers do a wonderful job of making sure patients are cared for safely, vaccines are safely administered with the correct dose,” he added.
Dr. Puthucheary also noted that knowledge suggests that such incidents are “unlikely” to result from systemic procedures in the overall vaccination process.
“(The) vast majority of our doses have been delivered safely. However, the Ministry of Health continues to look at all this,” he said.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung told parliament on Monday that as of June 30, another 2100 people were exempted from differentiated COVID-19 vaccination restrictions due to adverse reactions to vaccines.
Among them, the observed mortality rate is about two equivalent to 1000, compared with 0. 3 equivalent to 1000 for the general population, he added.
STORY: “People don’t realise how physical Formula 1 is, it seems very simple, you just have to drive a car, but it’s much harder than that and very stressful for the neck and trunk, for the legs and to maintain strength. “Do it consistently for two hours without making any mistakes. It’s also very difficult,” Norris said at a meeting with Lego and McLaren F1 in Singapore ahead of a night race this weekend.
The Singapore Grand Prix chances begin on Friday, after a two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen lately leads the standings with thirteen podiums and has a chance to consolidate his lead if he wins the Singapore street circuit and his rivals fail badly.
