SINGAPORE - A 95-year-old woman is among the first residents to receive their Covid-19 shots as nursing homes here start their vaccination programme.
She received her first dose of the vaccine this week, as her nursing home, LC Nursing Home, is one of six homes which have started inoculating residents against the Covid-19 virus.
The home said the resident is in good condition and has not suffered any adverse effects.
Said LC Nursing Home s director Tony Chia: If our 95-year-old resident can be injected, it goes to show that the public doesn t have to worry about receiving the vaccination.
All six nursing homes received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for their residents, and the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) said they can choose to conduct their own vaccination exercises with trained nursing staff or opt for a mobile vaccination team to administer the vaccines to residents.
