Pneumonia or stroke are never the cause, they are the result of something else. Every doctor sure know this.

Yes and no. What the doctors will say publicly is a person died of pneumonia or stroke or heart attack... You can see this under singstat under causes of death.

The actual documentation will probably have something like secondary to this and that plus all the associated findings which are usually not made public. This is probably what you are referring to but this is probably something we will never have access to.

宜康医疗保健集团回复《8视界新闻网》询问时透露，工作人员是在完成接种的五分钟后发现错误，宜康以及保康的团队延长了老妇的观察时间，而她当时并未出现不良反应。

宜康以及保康认真看待这起事件，并已检讨程序，避免再犯。卫生部也接获了通知。

宜康以及保康为这名老妇的逝世感到难过，团队已向她的家属提供支持，并会继续这么做。

In a statement, ECON Healthcare Group said the error was discovered about five minutes after the vaccine was administered.

"The teams from ECON and PanCare attended to the resident, and extended the observation time. The resident had no adverse reaction during that time," it said.

"ECON and PanCare take a serious view of the incident, and have reviewed our processes to prevent any further recurrence."

It also said that it has been rendering support to the resident's family and "will continue to do so".

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is concluding its investigation of a case of a 103-year-old nursing home resident at ECON Healthcare – Chai Chee Nursing Home who was erroneously administered with a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine by a mobile vaccination team from PanCare Medical Clinic.

2 The resident had previously received three doses of COVID-19 vaccine, and was erroneously given a fourth shot on 13 December 2021. On 16 December 2021, the resident was admitted to Changi General Hospital for pneumonia and hyponatremia, and subsequently also diagnosed to have suffered a stroke. She passed away on 10 January 2022. Her death was reported to the Coroner, who ordered an autopsy to be conducted. The autopsy found that the main cause of death was pneumonia, with other contributing factors being cerebral infarction (or stroke) and coronary artery disease, which are natural disease processes common in seniors. The Coroner has not determined whether these causes of death were linked to the vaccination.

3 MOH takes a serious view of this incident and is carrying out a thorough investigation under Regulations 14A(1) and 36(1) of the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Regulations. We expect the investigations to conclude in February 2022. Our preliminary findings were that the vaccine was erroneously administered due to possible irregularities in vaccination procedures and poor communication between the nursing home and the medical service provider handling the vaccination. This is the first case of mistaken identity leading to erroneous vaccination by a mobile vaccination team in over 152,000 vaccinations to date.

4 MOH had planned to announce this incident in December 2021. However, the family of the resident had requested to withhold details which could have led to the identification of the resident. We have since consulted the family further and are releasing the information to provide clarity on the incident.

5 We understand that ECON Healthcare Group and PanCare Medical Clinic have co-funded the resident’s hospital bill as a goodwill gesture. ECON Healthcare has also been in contact with the resident’s family to render support to them.

6 Both ECON Healthcare and PanCare Medical Clinic have reviewed their processes to prevent a recurrence. The Agency for Integrated Care, whose role is to facilitate vaccinations in nursing homes, has reminded all nursing homes to ensure proper communications with the mobile vaccination teams when vaccination takes place. MOH has also reminded all mobile vaccination teams to perform independent identity verification and authentication before administering any vaccination.

I am actually very curious about one thing. Is this the only time they mistakenly give a 4th shot and the one mistake caused a fatality OR 4th shots have been given before just that previously no fatality?

There should be a proper PUBLIC investigation into this.

You are asking a very important question.
And there is a possibility about the above scenario.
If the nurse involved did not check the past record before the injection, what other patients did she or he jab ?
Or could be a case of all of them are jabbed ?
We will never know the answer.

In response to TODAY's queries, Econ Healthcare said that the mistake was discovered about five minutes after the vaccine was administered.

The teams from Econ Healthcare and PanCare Medical Clinic attended to the woman and extended the post-vaccination observation time.

"The resident had no adverse reaction during that time," Econ Healthcare said.

A few days later on Dec 16, she was admitted to Changi General Hospital for pneumonia and hyponatremia, a condition where sodium levels in the blood are lower than normal, usually due to too much water in the body. The woman was later diagnosed to have suffered a stroke as well.

She died on Jan 10 this year.
