Number of Residents Followed Up by Medical Practitioners, Found Suitable for and Received COVID-19 Vaccinations at Hospitals, Polyclinics and Private Clinics

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Health, to date, how many residents have been followed up by medical practitioners and found suitable for and received vaccinations under the COVID‐19 vaccination programme at the hospitals, polyclinics and private clinics.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: All persons are medically assessed at vaccination centres, polyclinics or participating Public Health Preparedness Clinics before being vaccinated. The Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination has advised that only those with previous vaccine allergies are medically ineligible; the vast majority of individuals are suitable for mRNA vaccines.
