... These rates are only indicative since they do not account for other factors which can affect mortality such as the age and timing of vaccination," said Mr Ong.The remaining 555 people who died from COVID-19 last year were not fully vaccinated.

"We will continue to try to convince those who are medically eligible to get vaccinated, through their primary care physicians, public messaging and the media. But as the number gets smaller, it is also harder to convince them." As for those aged 12 to 19 years old, 95 per cent are fully vaccinated, said Mr Ong, while response has been"good" and operations have been"smooth" for vaccinations among younger children aged five to 11.

Mr Ong added that booster coverage will continue to expand over the month of January. MOH has also set a validity period for full vaccination status of 270 days, to send"a strong signal to our population".

30% So high! No wonder some doubt if vaccines work? PGeorge9601 LawrenceWongST

Don’t believe data can be manipulated

This is actually misrepresentation.

The stats are out once again and MODERNA RULES. Pfizer is HORSE SHIT. Next time people should listen. TOLD YOU SO. HA HA (à la Nelson from Simpsons). Oh don’t you hate it when you are proven wrong over and over and over. 😆😂🤣😅

Do you have an anti-vaxxer writing this article? Shouldn’t it say “The minority that is not fully vaccinated account for the majority of deaths”?

From what i saw, there were less death cases before vaccine was available. These data is easily manipulated by people in power.

Shut up and get vaccinated.

U say we must believed?

Interesting headline CNN...I mean CNA (difficult to tell the difference). The alternative is 70% died unvaccinated, but that wouldnt get you the clicks eh!

Pointers. Did not breakdown the 70% between Unvac, 1st Dose, 2nd Dose less than 14 days. Hiding something? Please read. Pushing for Booster and still unsure if more Booster coming. Nothing on alternative measure after these 3 years. Purely relying on 'Unreliable Va$$ine'.Experts.
