SINGAPORE: Two adults were each given a full vial of the undiluted Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic in Hougang, with one needing hospitalisation after experiencing headache and increased heart rate, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (Sep 20).

Responding to CNA’s queries, the ministry said that it was alerted to the incident on Monday, which took place at a clinic under the ProHealth Medical Group on Sep 15.

“One was hospitalised after experiencing headache and increased heart rate and has since been discharged. The other patient did not report any adverse reaction,” said MOH.

MOH said that it takes a serious view of this incident and is carrying out a thorough investigation.

“The clinic and doctor who administered the vaccine have been suspended from the National Vaccination Programme until further notice,” the ministry added.

After dilution, vials of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine contain six doses of 0.3ml of vaccine, according to Singapore's Health Sciences Authority.

Speaking to Mediacorp's Channel 8 News, Mr Lim Tau Chiew, 57, said he had experienced headache and increased heart rate.

"I felt the side of my body cramping up, even to the point I felt my pulse quickening and my heart beat was increasing," said Mr Lim.

"I called my daughter for help and we waited for the ambulance to send me to the hospital."

According to Channel 8 News, the doctor involved is a locum and comes in twice a month. She has been working at the clinic for around two years.

CNA has contacted the clinic for more information.

In a separate incident last year, MOH said it was conducting a "thorough investigation" after a 103-year-old woman was erroneously given a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

The woman was admitted to Changi General Hospital for pneumonia and hyponatremia, and was subsequently also diagnosed to have suffered a stroke. She died the following month.

Last year, an employee at the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) was wrongly administered the equivalent of five doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine due to a human error.

Senior doctors were alerted immediately and the staff was assessed and found to be well, with no adverse reaction or side effects, SNEC had said.

“One was hospitalised after experiencing headache and increased heart rate and has since been discharged. The other patient did not report any adverse reaction,” said MOH.

As if diluting the death shots would have made any difference. Keep on gaslighting the public, the reckoning will come.

Guess the doctor race, nationality and qualifications?

this is what you get for importing 3rd world healthcare workers. they will help speed up the demise of sinkies.

The unvaccinated seems to be having a better deal with 0% chance of adverse reaction and 99.8% chance of CONvid survival rates.

How do you think the cronies at NHG and SingHealth etc got so rich?

Even the polyclinics have morphed into something that is no longer a 'longer wait time but cheaper price' place for low SES folks.

Daft Sinkies want to be ruled by kleptocrats (盗国贼), this is exactly what they will get.

KNN my uncle wonder how they found out the undiluted vaccine KNN even if the hospital got way to test after the test hospital side will help them do investigation from clinic side mare ? KNN also this is provided clinic side still have some batches left with undiluted syringe else how to proof KNN

yes i heard the doctor is not locally-trained

Tip for daft Sinkies visiting a GP clinic: find a proper independent one and avoid those owned by 'medical groups' and have many outlets islandwide.

Unless of course, your company is reimbursing your medical expenses if you visit a specific medical clinic e.g. Raffles medical clinic.

Undiluted or 6 shots of diluted which they call boosters, are no different. But FOUR board Supercucks like @porcaputtana and @dredd will claim otherwise.
Is it possible that someone can study until stupidity sets in?

 

[laksaboy]

Do they have the mandatory 'observation period' of 30 minutes after Covid vaccination like that which is done in vaccination centres?

They also called the vaccines 'national treasures'.

"Both fridges have a UPS - an uninterruptible power supply - so in the event of a power failure, the fridges will still go on and the vaccines are not wasted, because they are a national treasure," he added.

Nurse lost touch with vaccination procedures. Anyhow pump the whole vial in.
