Channel NewsAsiaProf Tan Chorh Chuan, Member, Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination & Chief Health Scientist, MOH, and A/Prof Benjamin Ong, Chair, Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination, were among the close to 120 healthcare workers across NUHS who have received their Covid-19 vaccinations as of 11 January 2021.
Prof Tan shared that Covid-19 vaccination centres will be set up at polyclinics, public health preparedness clinics and GP clinics to allow large number of people to be vaccinated daily, and that healthcare authorities will monitor the side effects and collect information to know more about them.
Prof Tan and A/Prof Ong reminded the public to rely on trusted sources for information on the vaccines instead of misleading messages that are being circulated, and to avoid putting off the second dose should they experience minor side effects as full protection only takes place with two doses.
