According to Singapore Health Services Agency Director Kenneth Mak, this rate is completely within the safety threshold. Therefore, people can trust and continue to participate in Covid-19 immunization programs.
Mr. Kenneth Mak also affirmed that the Singapore government has been adopting preventive measures such as pre-vaccination screening and post-vaccination monitoring, to ensure that the vaccination program can be implemented safely.
Recent polls show that a relatively high proportion of Singaporeans are hesitant to participate in the Covid-19 vaccination.
Singapore Government on January 28th announced the financial support program for people at risk after injection. Accordingly, Singapore citizens, permanent residents and holders of a long-term residence card will be eligible for one-time payment assistance of up to S $ 225,000 depending on severity of injury resulting from immunization. /.
