SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health aims to roll out Covid-19 vaccinations for children between six months and four years old towards the fourth quarter of this year, it said on Monday .

Of the 1.7 million Covid-19 cases reported since the start of the pandemic, about 64,000, or 3.9 per cent, were children under five years old, MOH said. “In comparison, 0.17 per cent of patients in the 40-and-above age group require intensive care. The incidence rate of intensive care among the five-to-39 group is almost negligible,” it said.

“This translates to three deaths per 100,000 cases in the same age group, compared to 99 deaths per 100,000 cases for the 40 and above age group this year.”
