MOH responds to call to delay Covid-19 jabs for schoolboys, says benefits outweigh risk
The Expert Committee on Covid-19 Vaccination is aware of an open letter calling for a halt in vaccinating Singapore's youths and is closely monitoring local and global data to keep its recommendations fresh, said the Ministry of Health in a statement on Sunday (June 28). The open letter, posted on Facebook on Saturday by a doctor, Dr Kho Kwang Po, was addressed to Professor Benjamin Ong, chairman of the expert committee. It comes after a 13-year-old American boy died days after he received his second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in the United States.
