When we have mass exercises like vaccination, it is easy to make various mistakes.
We are all human after all.
Hence, it is important to have protocols in place which help to reduce the inevitable human errors.
One process by the Raffles Medical Group is very good.
One person is in charge of dilution and pre-loading the syringes.
Get a fresh vial from a cooler bag on a separate table.
Add right amount of saline to dilute the thawed vial of 5 doses.
Rotate vial 10 times to ensure proper and even mixing of vaccine concentrate and saline.
Draw the right amount into a vaccination syringe.
Insert the fine vaccination needle, and prep the syringe to be ready for injection.
Place syringe in kidney-shaped tray.
Repeat another 4 times.
Total of 5 prepared pre-loaded syringes in one kidney tray – this tray is then placed in another cooler bag on the syringe pre-loading table.
Neat.
From dilution, mixing to pre-loading at one station.
At the vaccination stations, after welcoming the vaccinee, double checking the identity, and putting them at ease, the healthcare worker aka HCW takes one syringe from the tray, double checks the pre-loaded volume, and proceeds with the vaccination.
When the vaccinating HCWs finish each tray of 5 syringes, they go to the pre-loading table to collect another tray of 5 freshly filled syringes.
This way, the pre-loading process is distinct and separate from the vaccination process.
This will reduce the load on the vaccinating HCW to focus on vaccinee engagement and ensure vaccination with a properly prepped syringe.
The dilution and syringe pre-loading is at a separate station – this helps work up consistency for dilution, mixing and pre-loading.
If the vaccination volume goes up, we can further split the dilution and mixing from the preloading if needed.
Sure, there can be other minor improvements, based on ground experience and ops requirements.
With the Moderna vaccine now approved, we expect shipments of Moderna vaccines to start arriving in Singapore around March/April.
Our pre-orders for Moderna vaccines are expected to come from Europe.
Meanwhile, we are watching the Pfizer plant upgrading in Belgium where our BionTech-Pfizer vaccines are coming from.
Pfizer is upgrading their Belgium plant to expand their production capacity.
As a result, deliveries slowed to Singapore and elsewhere.
Once upgrading is completed on schedule, they would need to complete more checks and processes, like testing and recommissioning as these facilities are all compliant with various medical production standards.
Once production can restart, we should expect deliveries to get back on track, including catch up deliveries.
The next BionTech-Pfizer shipment is expected after CNY.
Thereafter, as and when deliveries step up, we can then step up our vaccination pace and outreach.
As the schedule stands, we can expect that we will soon open up invitations to the folks in their 60s and their 50s, and move progressively down the younger and younger age groups.
This is on the basis of age based risk of Covid complications. This is bcos the older folks are at much greater risk of serious complications when they are hit by Covid, compared to younger folks.
Meanwhile, we continue to open up on a parallel track based on risk of exposure.
For this, we start with the highest risk of exposure like HCWs in hospitals, ambulance staff, SHN hotel staff, or researchers working on Covid, etc.
And then we move progressively to others with clear but lower risks of exposure.
A third track are our essential services workers, who would include our SAF, SCDF, etc.
A fourth track would include our dorm residents, who could be at great risk of forming a large uncontrolled cluster.
Meanwhile, do remember that being vaccinated means greater protection against serious Covid illnesses.
However, being vaccinated does not mean we cannot be silent carriers.
There are signs that the vaccines may prevent us from being silent carriers, but the data is not out yet.
So it is better to continue to stay mask, wash hands, maintain safe distance, even after we have completed our 2-shot vaccinations, so that we reduce our risk of becoming silent carriers to infect others.
Please note that it takes at least 2 weeks after each shot for our immune system to produce our defensive arsenal of various antibodies and infection killer cells.
So even after our 1st shot, we remain at risk of being infected by Covid and suffering serious illness, esp during the immediate 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks, only half of us will mount a reasonable arsenal of immune weapons.
Only after 1-2 weeks after the 2nd shot, will we see 95% of us with good to excellent arsenal, while 5% may still not have the required level of protection.
So don’t go partying recklessly after our 1st shot, or even after our 2nd shot.
Keep well, stay safe.

何晶表示,在新加坡施打的輝瑞疫苗産于比利時,第一批疫苗早在去年12月21日抵新加坡。截至上個月底,已有超過6萬人注射疫苗。

輝瑞目前也正在升級廠房(Pfizer Plant),以提升疫苗的生産率。
一旦升級完畢,相信會加快疫苗的運送速度。
(點擊以上,閱讀原文)
之前開放注射疫苗的群體爲前線工作者,如醫護人員、巴士車長、70歲以上的年長者等。而當第二批疫苗抵達後,將預計會開放給更多高風險群和50至60歲的國人,然後在漸漸排到更年輕的群衆。 同時,莫德納疫苗將會在3月運達,相信這也會加快整個疫苗注射的腳步。

昨增22起確診病例含2起本土病例 2月8日,新加坡衛生部通報新增22起確診病例,20起爲境外輸入病例,2起爲本土病例,累計5萬9721起。 在22起確診病例當中,4人出現症狀,18人無症狀感染。
昨天通報本土病例新增2起,爲本地社區病例;客工宿舍病例無新增。 昨天境外輸入病例20起從阿聯酋入境者比例近日增高
昨天新增的20起境外輸入病例,在指定地點執行14天“SHN居家通知”時,檢測結果呈陽性而確診。情況統計如下: 按旅行史統計:印度6人,阿聯酋、印尼各4人,馬來西亞、緬甸、菲律賓、尼泊爾、馬拉維各1人,有加拿大和阿聯酋疊加旅行史1人。
