Kenneth Mak: No good reason to think that you may skip the booster simply because you think that Omicron infections are potentially less serious

[jeffprobst]

Dunno which task force is thinking that. if not why still allow so much import case in which will result in community case spread in the long run

Giving figures on the booster vaccination take-up rate, Singapore's director of medical services Kenneth Mak, said that among those aged above 30 who are eligible for their boosters, nearly 70 per cent have received their jabs.

The figure was at 89 per cent for eligible seniors aged above 60, he added.

" We urge as many people as possible who are eligible to come forward and receive their booster vaccinations as soon as possible...(as) this is important to mitigate the risk of waning antibody levels that can occur over time and to boost the vaccine-derived protection against severe infection, reducing the risk of being infected by Delta or Omicron variants," said Associate Professor Mak.

He added that Singapore is still seeing Delta infections, and not just Omicron, therefore getting vaccinated and boosted can protect against both variants.

"There's no good reason to think that you may skip the booster vaccination simply because you think that Omicron infections are potentially less serious," he added.

“We see about 1,000 strokes and heart attacks every month, handled by our public hospitals, and as we vaccinate in large numbers, coincidental strokes and heart attacks after vaccination will occur,” MOH said.

good reason to skip booster because only it only protects you 10 weeks and still need to take risks of vaccine injuries
