• 404 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are well and under observation. There are currently 30 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 6 in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

• Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 9.6%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.4%.

• As of 16 August 2021, 76% of our population has completed their full regimen/ received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 82% has received at least one dose.

Update on vaccination progress

As of 16 August 2021, we have administered a total of 8,464,972 doses of COVID-19 vaccines under the national vaccination programme (Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty and Moderna), covering 4,440,268 individuals, with 4,155,680 individuals having completed the full vaccination regimen.

2. In addition, 151,089 doses of other vaccines recognised in the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) have been administered as of 16 August 2021, covering 83,968 individuals. In total, 76% of our population has completed their full regimen/ received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 82% has received at least one dose.

Condition of hospitalised cases

3. 404 cases are currently warded in hospital. There are currently 30 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 6 in critical condition in the ICU. Of those who have fallen very ill, 31 are seniors above 60 years, of whom 25 are completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.

4. Case 67329, a 90 year-old male Singaporean, has passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection on 17 August 2021. He had developed symptoms on 29 July, and was detected when he was tested for COVID-19 on 1 August as part of our community surveillance testing. The following day, he developed shortness of breath and giddiness, and was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital where he was admitted directly to the ICU for septic shock from COVID-19 pneumonia. He had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but was advanced in age and had a history of chronic kidney disease and hypertension.

5. In total, 45 have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection.

6. There is continuing evidence that almost all fully-vaccinated individuals do not suffer serious disease when infected, unless if they had underlying medical conditions that made them more susceptible. Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 9.6%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.4%.

8. There is continuing evidence that almost all fully-vaccinated individuals do not suffer serious disease when infected, unless if they had underlying medical conditions that made them more susceptible. Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 8.6%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.7%.
