Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

I wonder if minmed vaccination staff cld be stressed with new surge in vaccination numbers. Hope they get additional manpower.


I saw in the news, a private clinic got all the hordes fr every part of the island. This cld be avoid if the press inform clearly inform other centres to spread out. The doctor & nurses there overwhelmed & said ppl cld hv gone to their nearest clinic.

So, thinking manpower shld be expanded so the staff at minmed can hv longer or more breaks. Time off for meetings, reviews or training/re-training. Mistakes do happen & this one originates fr the individual. The minmed staff do not need more stresses fr lawsuits. Who wld want to do the job if they’ve to face lawsuits on top of shadow of mistake bearing over their head? Just thinking aloud.

Can anybody point me to how many 12-15 year olds were actually in the clinical trials in the US for the Pfizer vaccine? All I can find is 2,260. How many more have had the jab in the US and Canada?


It looks like Singapore may well become the largest real world trial for this group. Congratulations. Keep fingers and toes crossed.

I think you have 14 days to book? Check the SMS. Mine said the booking link will expire after 14 days. After that, can register again & wait for SMS again. I literally dilly dallied till the 14th day & made a last-minute decision to book a next-morning appt since DH would be around to monitor my symptoms.

Not sure about the kids.
