SINGAPORE, Jan 25 (The Straits Times/ANN): Confidence levels in vaccines are expected to rise as more people here get inoculated against Covid-19, said Singapore's chief health scientist Tan Chorh Chuan on Monday (Jan 25).
"There will be rising confidence amongst society and we expect that the take-up rates will then start to increase quite sharply," he told a panel on boosting vaccine confidence at The Davos Agenda, a series of virtual sessions organised by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
This view, said Professor Tan, accords with an observation made by his fellow panellist, chief executive of market research company Ipsos Mori, Ben Page.
