Should the mass vacination exercise continue if it proved to be ineffective in shielding a person from being infected?

Very worried after fully vaccine still can get the virus. It's very serious matter hope the authorities will look into it. If possible go back to phase 1 to prevent the spread.

There you go......2nd lockdown on the way! Thank you india thank you!

we know efficacy of pfizer is 95% so yes there may be some cases slipping through. But for both a nurse and a doctor in full ppe (I assume) to be infected is seriously worrying.

The nurse had developed a cough, sore throat and body aches on April 27 and sought medical treatment at the hospital. Her test result came back positive for Covid-19 infection on the same day, and she was warded at NCID.

Scary isn't it to think that you can still be infected even after you're fully vaccinated? Just horrible 😱

I believe the doctor would also have been vaccinated as they are considered frontliners?

5 COVID-19 cases in Tan Tock Seng Hospital cluster have Indian variant of coronavirusThe B1617 (Indian) variant of COVID19 was detected among the earliest reported cases of the Tan Tock Seng Hospital cluster. A look at the latest variants of the coronavirus in Singapore: 什麼B都有了? This is alarming! 21 days SHN for Inbound contacts is simply not enough. SHN needs to be increased to a month atleast which is hard but a must to do to safeguard population. Vaccination program should be ramped up with faster pace in the meantime. This is worrying trend, we managed to contract all the worst variants in Singapore. I hope Singapore does not go into another lock down.
