The vast majority of Singapore's seniors now have at least partial protection against Covid-19, with 85 per cent of those aged 70 and above having received at least one shot of a vaccine, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday (Aug 16).

The vaccination rate for the next oldest group - aged 60 to 69 - is even higher, at over 90 per cent, he said.

At the same time, Singapore's daily vaccination rate has slowed to around 40,000 jabs a day, as most of the population have been inoculated against the coronavirus.


This is about half the number administered during the peak of the country's vaccination drive.

"That's a good thing, but we are also plateauing," Mr Ong said in an interview with radio station Kiss92 FM, as he urged those not yet vaccinated to get their shot. "I think we might well be the most vaccinated country in the world."

[WhatDoYouThink?]

shd find out how some countries/regions are able to keep their infection rates very low. what types of vaccines they used and measures they took, and do they hv very high rates of vax

Don't be obsessed with numbers...
What is important is to keep deaths down.

Don't be complacent because high number vaccinated. The virus can mutate...the vaccine effectiveness drops with time.

We need to be proactive...
1. Trace extensively.
2. Test and surveillance.
3. Physical measures distancing ..reducing foreign influx.
4. Keep looking for preventive drugs.
5. Keep looking for cures.

So what.

After 2 jabs can die from covid too.

Though they can push away and say is due to underlining illnesses.

Everyone don't say it out but knows.

Trying to give himself credit for a crisis which he haven't totally resolved..

Wait till life is back to normal, where not vaccinated folks get back all the rights that they lost, then come and claim credit..

BTW, hospital are implementing not vaccinated people cannot go and visit ward patient.. Let's wait till the next hospital outbreak, and the blame cannot be pushed to the not vaccinated..

Wear condom also doesnt 100% guarantee you wont make woman pregnant. This is their current mentality.
Must wait for whole world population wear condom first.

NZ PM is smarter, most ppl dont wear mask. Once got cases, immediately lock down.

[Symmetry]

This kind of thing must also compete to be World #1?

Can compete having 3 Ministers to run this 25km land?

[Huliwang]

Knnah, I hear.liao also paiseh. Population only 5 million simi lj most vaccinated. ......

[ArielCasper]

Not sure what OYK refer to "most vaccinated country"..

Want to compare fully vaccination rate, we lost to Gibraltar (99% fully vaccinated)..

Want to compare number of vaccination made, we lost to US, China and those countries huge population and have access to vaccines..

So OYK definition of "most vaccinated country" must be a new term which need to be included in Oxford Dictionary, but what's the definition??
