SINGAPORE: The administration of the wrong dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine to a Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) staff member and vaccination certificates are among the topics set to be discussed in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 24).
Seniors are also prioritised, due to a higher risk of severe or fatal infections of Covid-19.
At the moment, vaccines cannot be given to people outside of these groups until there is greater certainty in Singapore s vaccine supply.
Could there be exceptions for people with reasons to travel overseas?
Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary fielded a bunch of questions on Feb. 1 from Members of Parliament (MPs), who asked whether early vaccinations could be given to individuals with pressing concerns.
Yip Hon Weng asked if vaccinations could be given to people who need to go abroad on short notice for studies, business or compassionate grounds.
