Our P4-6 students will be receiving their #COVID19 vaccination from tomorrow.
Visited the paediatric Vaccination Centre at Senja-Cashew Community Club this morning to see the preparations, safety protocols and design features that are specially catered for children at the Vaccination Centres, including:
• Dedicated queue for children and their parents/guardians, and clear signages featuring Ministry of Education, Singapore Soaper 5 heroes to provide a familiar environment.
• Added verification checks at the registration counters.
• Differently colour-coded paediatric vaccine vials, segregated paediatric vaccine prep area and logistics chain.
• Medical personnel trained in paediatric care, along with staff who are experienced in vaccinating younger children. The medical staff are even putting on colourful attire to differentiate themselves and help put the children at ease.
To date, more than 40% of next year’s P4-6 students have signed up for vaccination.
• From today, we have extended registration to all who are born between 2010 to 2012 i.e. all remaining 9-11 year olds who are not in our MOE schools and Madrasahs.
• The weekend slots are fast filling up. I encourage parents to consider weekday slots that are still available. Would like to reassure parents that students getting vaccinated during schools hours, or feeling unwell from vaccine will be deemed to be on medical leave, and will receive help with their schoolwork if needed. We will also keep students away from strenuous activities in the 2 weeks after vaccination.
• Understand that some parents are waiting for the 2022 school schedule before registering. We will open registration for students in P1-3 in our MOE schools and Madrasahs from 5 Jan 2022, after school reopens. As with the older students, parents of these students will receive SMS invitations to make vaccination bookings.
Special thanks to our officers from Ministry of Health, Singapore, MOE, ECDA and our service providers who have been working hard through the festive period to roll out the vaccination exercise as soon and as smoothly as possible, to keep our children safe.
