SINGAPORE, June 28 — The expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination has reiterated its stance that the benefits of receiving messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Covid-19 vaccines continue to outweigh the risks of vaccination, in response to another open letter from a group of doctors, this time calling for vaccination of youths to be halted.
The doctors had made the call in an open letter on social media, following reports of the United States Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention’s (CDC) investigations into the death of a 13-year-old boy after being vaccinated with the second dose of an mRNA vaccine. The CDC is the US’ national public health agency.
