Two Paediatric Vaccination Centres to Cease Operations After 27 February 2022
https://www.moe.gov.sg/news/press-releases/20220204-update-on-vaccination-progress-and-closure-of-two-paediatric-vaccination-centres
4. By end February, we will have relatively fewer remaining children who would need to be vaccinated, after another 3 to 4 weeks of high vaccination demand. As such, MOH will gradually reduce the number of paediatric VCs in the coming weeks. This will also allow MOH to allocate more resources towards the national booster vaccination programme, which has just started for individuals aged 12 to 17.
5. Two paediatric VCs at Nanyang Community Club (CC) and Queenstown CC will therefore cease operations after Sunday 27 February 2022. These two paediatric VCs will continue to accept appointments made via the NAS until their eventual closure but will no longer accommodate any walk-ins for their Dose 1 appointments from 7 February 2022.
6. 13 paediatric VCs will remain in operation after the closure of the Nanyang CC and Queenstown CC paediatric VCs. Please refer to Annex B for a map of the remaining paediatric VCs. -

Probably some decided not to see a doctor during the CNY holiday, so there's pent-up demand after. That has always happened, every public holiday, since workers need to take MC for workdays. But this time made worse by Omicron. And also because of Omicron, as people would have visited or been visited more over the past couple of days, there would be more infections. As long as most cases are mild, there's no real problem in terms of illness; the problems are more about work disruptions and long queues.
am shocked too.
what caused the spike?
As for fatalities, anecdotally, there are always more deaths following important festivals - some people will try to keep going till after the festival. -
Me too surprised with the reported numbers.
I read that employee no need take MC to support absence fm work. How many days of paid leave the employer needs to provide per infection? With the current situation, may be very disruptive to work? -
I’m not shocked at all. I was expecting it to be higher. Notice how they have "quietly" stopped the daily updates. I guess we should all get used to it.

I was shocked when I saw the news flash last night but DH said I probably misread. Went to bed w/o suspecting. So it’s true.
Ya, MOH stipulates eyees need not hv to get MC as this wld burden the GPs with admin processes. Eyers are encouraged to let covid affected staff rest at home or WFH so they do not spread the viruses. Many eyers ard still unaware & insists on MC. So, that’s also a danger point tt might hv contributed to the increasing numbers. And yes, festive holidays like CNY always causes spike. The hospitals will be burdened with return patients too. It’s tough for the medical frontliners. Many alr on standby & told to return to respond to increase medical needs. Wonder how is our frd, laughingcat.
