It is "untrue and irresponsible", reported TODAY newspaper, citing the ministry statement on Saturday.
"Based on the Ministry of Health's vaccination records, the student had received his last dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine more than 18 months ago," said the ministry.
In a press statement issued on Saturday, the Singapore Sports School said Pranav told the badminton coach that he was feeling unwell after completing a 400m fitness time trial at about 6.26 pm on October 5.
The coach told him to rest and the boy did so at the side of the starting point of the track while the coach attended to the time-trial data on his phone.
The coach then left the track to brief other students on competition matters, not realising that Pranav was still resting at the same place. He then left the school premises after the briefing.
The teenager interacted with two other groups of students before a track and field coach noticed him. After he was given water, the coach assessed that Pranav had difficulty getting up, even with help.
An ambulance was called and his parents were informed. The badminton coach returned to accompany Pranav to the hospital.
The coach has been served a notice of dismissal.
