SINGAPORE — Ms Kalpana Srinivasan was initially hesitant to get her two children, aged six and 10, vaccinated against Covid-19. Given that they have already been inoculated against several other diseases, such as measles, since they were babies, the 36-year-old homemaker was worried about the potential side effects of being jabbed with an additional vaccine.
"I wanted to go tell my friends that I have also got vaccinated. It was a fun thing to say, rather than everyone else putting than me being the last. I wanted to be one of the early people," said the 10 year-old.I wanted to go tell my friends that I have also got vaccinated.

"There's a lot of speculations about the vaccines not being suitable for kids before they did some tests," said the home maker. When asked how her experience getting the first dose was like, the Pri 6 student said she was very scared initially but the overall experience was not as what she feared and she is doing fine with the exception of a slight sore arm.
