'There is continuing evidence that vaccination helps to prevent serious disease when one gets infected.'

Vaccinated individuals accounted for three-quarters of Singapore's Covid-19 infections in the last four weeks, but they were not falling seriously ill, government data showed, as a rapid ramp-up in inoculations leaves fewer people unvaccinated.
