in Singapore under the special access route, after it was approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization .Dr Puthucheary was responding to Member of Parliament Gerald Giam who asked how individuals who have allergic reactions to their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be able to attain fully vaccinated status.

Responding to a question on vaccination for short-term visit pass holders from MP He Ting Ru , Dr Puthucheary said that the Government is “reviewing how short-term pass holders, such as those who are more vulnerable and who have been in Singapore on an extended basis due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, may receive vaccinations”.

Yes , it should be treated equally = mRNA vaccine .

How does this make sense? Either you consider Sinovac shots as fully vaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Allergy to mRNA should be a seperate matter all together if we are looking at this from a medical perspective.

Thank you WP MP Gerald Giam for asking this all important question which no one has voiced out before
