WORKERS "in jobs or settings where risk of a super-spreading event is high", including migrant workers, will be among the priority groups for Covid-19 vaccination, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong in Parliament on Monday. These include the construction, marine and process sector.

In a ministerial statement, he addressed many questions on Covid-19 vaccines, noting that while safety is a top priority, a vaccine injury financial assistance programme will also be introduced to provide peace of mind.
