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。(圖源:Pixabay)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。

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。
何晶最後提醒公衆,接種疫苗雖然有了更好的保障,但還是有可能傳播病毒,所以大家要繼續勤洗手、戴口罩、確保人與人之間保持安全社交距離。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。 前來務工、任職者占一半 按身份統計: WP客工7人,其中5人爲外籍女傭,分別從印度、印尼、馬來西亞、緬甸入境。 持工作證件3人,分別從印度、尼泊爾、菲律賓入境。 上述前來務工、任職人員小計占當天之半數。 新加坡公民4人、永久居民3人,分別從加拿大、印度、阿聯酋入境。 持DP家屬證2人,分別從印度、阿聯酋入境。 持STVP短期探訪證1人,從中非的馬拉維入境,前來探親。 過去七天163起確診其中45%爲既往感染過去七天,一共156人確診,其中84起(54%)爲既往感染,32起(20%)爲新近感染,其他40起(26%)結果未出。 昨天51人病愈仍有1人在ICU重症病房 2月8日,新加坡衛生部通報:51人病愈出院,累計病愈5萬9484人;現有病患爲241人,比前天減29人。 現有病患包括:中症病房有43人,比前天增8人;201人在社區護理設施或社區康複設施,比前天減37人。 ICU重症加護病房有1人,與2月5日進入ICU,已有四天。 新加坡死亡病例累計29起,上一次通報死亡病例是11月28日。 馬來西亞新增3100起連續4天日增低于4000起 2月8日,馬來西亞新增3100起確診病例,累計24萬5552起。這是大馬連續四天日增病例低于4000起。 昨天新增的3100起新增病例當中,1起爲境外輸入病例,3099起爲本土病例。 在3099起本土病例中,1619人(52%)是馬來西亞公民,1480人(48%)是外籍人員。 雪蘭莪昨天新增1196起確診病例,是當天新增病例最多的州屬,占當天總數之39%;最靠近新加坡的柔佛新增490起,占當天確診人數的16%;近日柔佛病例數據如下:馬六甲新增344起(11%)、吉隆坡295起、槟城209起、沙巴169起、森美蘭104起、砂拉越84起、霹雳72起、吉打37起、吉蘭丹30起、登嘉樓30起、彭亨28起等等。 活躍病例5萬1977起連續幾天創曆史新高 馬來西亞昨天新增13個感染群,分布在雪蘭莪、柔佛、吉隆坡、沙巴、砂拉越、森美蘭、登嘉樓,涉及醫藥中心、工廠、公司、建築工地、購物中心、公共行政中心;目前共有451個活躍感染群,其中79個昨天有新增病例。 昨天有2340名病患痊愈出院,累計19萬2679起,占總病例78.4%。 活躍病例有5萬1977起,連續幾天創曆史新高。活躍病例高企的一個問題是可能對醫療和隔離資源造成擠兌,前者會加劇死亡率,後者會加劇傳播率。 仍有282人在ICU重症加護病房接受治療,其中134人需要依靠呼吸輔助器。 新增24起死亡病例爲新增死亡病例單日新高 馬來西亞昨天通報新增24起死亡病例,爲疫情發生以來大馬單日新增死亡病例曆史新高。 其中,21人爲馬來西亞公民,3人爲外籍人員,年齡介于44歲至98歲之間;死亡病例累計896起,病死率爲0.4%。泰國新增186起確診連續三天創本波疫情以來新低 2月8日,泰國新增186起確診病例,是自1月25日以來的曆史新低,累計2萬3557起。 在昨天通報的186起新增病例當中,176起爲本土病例,10起爲境外輸入病例,源自英國、阿聯酋、印度、馬來西亞、瑞典、土耳其。 在176起本土病例當中,35起是由積極檢測而篩查出來的病例,141起是到醫院或診所求醫而發現的病例;132起(75%)出現在本波疫情核心的龍仔厝府,其他出現在曼谷和周邊地區。 泰國昨天無新增死亡病例,累計維持在79起。 印尼昨增8242起確診病例爲1月5日以來新低 2月8日,印尼新增8242起確診病例,累計116萬6079起,破116萬起。 同日,通報207起新增死亡病例,累計3萬1763起。 印尼近幾天日增死亡人數有所降低,從高峰的三四百人降至一兩百人。 印尼疫情仍持續中,但近一周似乎達到峰值,不再惡化。 印尼新冠確診病例和死亡病例人數皆爲東南亞最高。 菲律賓昨增1690起確診 2月8日,菲律賓新增1690起確診病例,累計53萬8995起。 菲律賓當天通報52起新增死亡病例,累計1萬1231起。 從圖表上看,菲律賓疫情正處于高峰之後的緩降。
