The Covid-19 vaccination drive kicked off in the private healthcare sector yesterday, with 50 staff from the Parkway Pantai group receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech shot.
The shots were administered at two locations. Thirty doctors and nurses were given the jab at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. Another 20 got the vaccine at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Orchard.
Among those inoculated at the Novena hospital were Parkway Pantai s senior executives and some of the hospital s infectious disease physicians, who said they hoped to lead by example.
The move would reassure their colleagues who may be hesitant about getting the vaccine, which uses messenger RNA technology.
