SINGAPORE, May 7 Around 2,800 “adverse events” have been reported out of the 2.2 million vaccine doses administered here between December last year and mid-April, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said. They are side effects that include rashes, fever and muscle aches. Of these, 95 were serious adverse events.
Stressing that there are no indications of strokes or heart attacks linked to the two vaccines used in Singapore so far, HSA said on Thursday (May 6) that the number of severe adverse events comprise only 0.004 per cent of the total doses given out in that period.
The country is experiencing its worst spate of Covid-19 community infections in close to a year, in a painful reminder of how the virus situation can flare up without warning.
But if contact tracing, testing and quarantine protocols are as effective as before, and people do not let their guard down, the current situation could come under control within the next week or so, experts said.
The Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) cluster, with 27 people infected, is the nation’s first hospital cluster and comprises staff and patients. One patient, an 88-year-old woman, has died.
The recent cases show that nobody can relax, not even for a moment, stressed Prof Teo Yik Ying, dean of the National University of Singapore’s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health.

We have seen time and again how countries have had to ramp up restrictions or even reimpose another lockdown after they have opened up, and this scenario could become a reality if we become complacent, he warned.
