Data on Number of Unvaccinated Employees Terminated due to Inability of Redeployment

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Manpower with regard to the Workforce Vaccination Measures (a) whether the Ministry has data on the number of employees who are not vaccinated and are terminated due to the inability of redeployment; and (b) if so, what is the number.

Dr Tan See Leng: As of 27 March 2022, 98.4% of the total workforce have been vaccinated whilst the number of local and foreign employees who had not taken any vaccine dose has fallen considerably to 36,900. Data on the number of unvaccinated employees who have ceased employment since the Workforce Vaccination Measures came into effect in January 2022 will only be available in mid-2022.
