Singapore
OUT of more than 2.2 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines administered in Singapore, 95 have been associated with serious suspected "adverse events" - or possible side effects - such as anaphylaxis, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said in the first of a series of monthly updates on vaccine safety.
"Based on available data, the benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines continue to outweigh the known risks in a pandemic," said the HSA, adding that it will continue to actively monitor the safety profile of the vaccines.
