NOTICE OF QUESTION FOR ORAL ANSWER

FOR THE SITTING OF PARLIAMENT ON 18 FEBRUARY 2022



Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Gan Thiam Poh

MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC



Question No. 2545



To ask the Minister for Health whether the Ministry will consider designated centers or clinics for residents to follow up and check specifically if they are medically suitable for COVID-19 vaccinations.



Answer



The Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination (EC19V) has determined that most residents can be safely vaccinated. Only those who are allergic to COVID-19 vaccines are medically ineligible. Individuals with specific medical queries or requiring detailed medical consultation, can approach their own doctors for a more detailed discussion on their health conditions, and their suitability of vaccination.


All vaccination centres are also equipped to screen for and advise on the medical suitability for the COVID-19 vaccines under the National Vaccination programme. The vaccination centres are staffed by trained medical personnel who are also guided by clinical guidelines developed in consultation with EC19V.
