Key Highlights
Empty vaccine syringes
The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) is looking into a number of complaints claiming empty syringes were used on recipients who were supposed to receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
At least one incident was caught on video showing a health worker injecting a recipient without plunging its contents.
Such incidents are rarely caught on video as most Covid-19 vaccination centres do not allow videos although there is no official rule from the government.
The CITF advised the public to look at the syringe before and after the injection to ensure they receive the dose they should, a rule introduced after previous complaints of underdosing.
