SINGAPORE: The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has extended the authorisation of the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for use in children aged between five and 11, with inoculations set to begin before the end of the year.

“The vaccination regimen is to be administered as a two-dose primary series, 21 days apart, but given at a lower dose (10 microgrammes) than that used for individuals aged 12 years and above (30 microgrammes),” HSA said in a news release late on Friday (Dec 10).

This is the first time that a COVID-19 vaccine has been authorised in Singapore for use in the five to 11 age group.

“HSA has conducted a thorough evaluation of the data in consultation with two groups of experts from HSA’s Medicines Advisory Committee and Panel of Infectious Diseases Experts,” the agency said.

“Based on the current available data, the benefits outweighed the risks for use in the young population, and the vaccine met the quality, safety and efficacy standards.”

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that the multi-ministry task force had accepted the recommendation by the Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination to use the paediatric doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for children aged between five and 11.

The committee also assessed that the benefits of the jab outweigh the risks when used in a paediatric dosage for children aged five to 11, "especially given ongoing community transmission and the emergence of the Omicron variant", MOH said.

“Vaccination for this group will commence before the end of this year, and once we receive deliveries of the vaccine doses,” the ministry added.

MOH said that a new supply agreement with Pfizer-BioNTech for the vaccine had been signed, and the ministry expects the shipment to arrive before the end of December.

"MOH will work with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) to roll out vaccinations for this school-going age group," it said, adding that more details would be announced by MOE and ECDA shortly.

With such a profession convincing name ending with "Authority", how many daft parents will believe in the govt and kill their children?

The society needs an insurance product that will pay for complications or death as a result of vaccination.

If the insurance companies are not prepared to come up with such a product, then they will have effectively confirmed that vaccination is an uninsurable risk.

Insurance companies are not that dumb to jump in when even governments dare not tread.

3 new COVID-19 cases preliminarily positive for Omicron variant, including couple who dined at 4 restaurants

The imported case, identified as Case 278256, is a 36-year-old man who travelled to Singapore via the vaccinated travel lane with the United States.

“His pre-departure test in the US on Dec 6 was negative for COVID-19 infection, as was his on-arrival PCR test on Dec 8,” MOH said.

“However, he tested positive for COVID-19 infection for his supervised ART on Dec 10, and his PCR test result also came back positive on Dec 11.”

The third new case reported on Wednesday, known as Case 279395, is the wife of Case 278256. The 34-year-old woman had no recent travel history.

“She was placed on quarantine on Dec 14 as she had been identified as a close contact of Case 278256, and tested positive for COVID-19 infection on the same day. Prior to that, she was working from home,” MOH said.

The couple dined at four restaurants on Dec 8 and Dec 9: Mizuki at Ngee Ann City, Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant at Sheraton Towers Singapore and Merci Marcel at Palais Renaissance on Dec 8, and Signs A Taste Of Vietnam Pho at Orchard Gateway on Dec 9.

“All customer-facing restaurant staff, as well as patrons with SafeEntry check-in/out timings that coincided with the time that the cases were at the restaurants, will be issued health risk warnings by MOH,” the ministry said.

“A one-time targeted PCR testing operation will also be conducted for these individuals, whom MOH will contact.

“All visitors to the affected premises are advised to monitor their health closely, and minimise social interactions as far as possible, for 14 days from their date of visit or interaction. They are encouraged to see a doctor immediately if they feel unwell.”

The National Public Health Laboratory is conducting whole genome sequencing for the three cases to confirm the variant, the Health Ministry said.

Those identified as close contacts of the cases will be placed on 10-day quarantine at designated facilities and undergo PCR tests at the start and end of their quarantine.

As of Wednesday, Singapore has reported 16 confirmed Omicron variant COVID-19 cases: 14 imported cases and two local cases who are airport passenger service staff.

Singapore reported 474 new COVID-19 cases and three fatalities as of noon on Wednesday.

Need to be fully vaccinated before entering these places and dining in these restaurants, isn't it?

So who is spreading this variant?

Surely can't be the unvaccinated. No?

Christmas is important for retail. I don't think they will impose more restrictions for Christmas.

 

[bobby]

Those infected restaurants should be now closed for 7 days deep cleansing....

 

[Sideswipe]

no quarantine upon arrival now ? the omicron would spread wildly soon.

 

[orh mee suah]

The first local omicron case was an Airport employee. Fully vaccinated, including booster shot.
The airtport cleaner who got the Delta variant was tested positive on May 5 despite being fully vaccinated.
