Singapore kick-started its national Covid-19 vaccination programme on 30 Dec 2020, with a senior staff nurse who screens suspected COVID-19 cases at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) with Pfizer-BioNTech jab. By the end of the day, 40 NCID staff members had received their injections, including Professor Leo Yee Sin, the centre’s executive director.
The remaining NCID staff will be progressively vaccinated, with the National Healthcare Group (NHG) management and staff starting in January.
