Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[Coolkidsrock2]

An overseas front-liner friend who eventually recovered was prepared for life-time dialysis due to damage to kidneys. He is a long-time sufferer so still experiencing other losses.


My mum is opting out due to health reasons. Given the majority cases are asymptomatic, she will need to be very disciplined with her social interactions.

My mum’s doctor told her she cannot get the vaccination becos as a cancer patient she has a weakened immune system. Not sure if MIL is interested to take (she is not yet 70 years old).


DH getting his tomorrow with some colleagues. Heard there’s a very long Q like several hours.

I’m not sure if I can take. Saw a news report that the 3 people in SG who had anaphylactic reactions to the vaccine had history of either allergic rhinitis or shellfish allergy.

For those who will be receiving their 1st dose, would there be a letter of notification or just ¨company sent¨ ?

Currently it’s only internal notification from companies in certain industries.

Not sure how they will notify the elderly folks age >70 when it’s their turn to get vaccinated.

My father of age 80 has yet to receive any letter.

I read in the ST that there will be letters sent to them with info of where they can go and how to make appointments.

Oh no! That dashes my hope. I wld like to take the vaccine but really can’t for allergic rhinitis sufferer? If it’s just reactions, can I still opt in?

Some old folks like my 2 pairs at home are innocently waiting for Sinovac to be approved. But I read somewhere it's only done trials on 18-59 years old so that's why China and Indonesia are not jabbing their elderly. The Phase 3 trials data on the older age group have not been released, so...maybe that's why 67-yr-old Xi Jinping has not even taken his own native vaccine?! LOL. I've shared the info with my folks and hope they make the right decision, though my mom is allergic to seafood and might not react well to the vaccine. Some of the earliest SCs who received the shots had bad reaction?? \"All of them had a history of allergies, including allergic rhinitis and food allergy such as to shellfish\"

Actually I'd feel more at ease and assured, if I were to take mine in those large convention halls with long queues and medical back-ups!! When they eventually roll out to non frontliners like us, we might end up having to take ours in GP clinics?? :roll:

Wonder if those HDB clinic nurses would know how to handle thawed vaccines allocated to their clinic or not. ''Sekali'' their one and only clinic freezer breaks down like the one in Seattle over the weekend! Will they jab me with the flu vaccine by mistake or not, since their freezer has other common vaccines?! ROTFL! :xedfingers:
