PV’s Jireh Lim questions why news of SNEC mistakenly giving its staff member 5 doses of COVID-19 vaccine was hidden from public for weeks
"I am disappointed that this news was hidden from the public at a time when we are encouraging members of the public and rally them to go for their C19 jabs."

An employee at the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) had been wrongly administered the equivalent of five doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the SNEC, the incident, which happened on 14 January during a vaccination exercise conducted for its staff members, was due to “human error” resulting from a lapse in communication among the vaccination team at the time.
“The error was discovered within minutes of the vaccination when the staff was resting in a designated area after vaccination,” the public healthcare institution said in a press release.
“Senior doctors were alerted immediately and the staff was assessed and found to be well, with no adverse reaction or side effects.”
The SNEC added that it has been following up closely with the staff member, who remains well.
Although the incident took place earlier in January, news of it only broke out few days ago.
Following this, Jireh (Simon) Lim, who was part of the People’s Voice (PV) team that contested in Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC in GE2020, questioned why was the news kept away from the public at a time where there is a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the vaccines as vaccinations are progressively being carried out.
“I ask why was the news hidden from the public for close to a month? Does the government really believe that such news could be hidden from the public at all?” Mr Lim wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday (7 Feb).
He then acknowledged that human errors are inevitable, and lauded the prompt medical attention rendered to the affected worker following the mistake.
Mr Lim also acknowledged the decision to cease any further vaccination exercise at SNEC, though he expressed his disappointment given that the news was not made known to the public sooner.
“I further note the immediate halting of further vaccination exercise at SNEC, however, I am disappointed that this news was hidden from the public at a time when we are encouraging members of the public and rally them to go for their C19 jabs,” he wrote.
Mr Lim went on to say that the Government should understand the situation on the ground better, noting that there are “massive hesitations and reservations” among many Singaporeans regarding the COVID-19 vaccines and its potential side effects.
“Transparency commands a high premium,” he asserted.
Mr Lim concluded his post saying, “It is action, action and still action much more than word and people are watching. Only pap suckers believe in lalala.”

I refer to the news that a worker from the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) was mistakenly given the equivalent of 5 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Jan 14 and very luckily, after inpatient observations, the worker was discharged.
I ask why was the news hidden from the public for close to a month? Does the government really believe that such news could be hidden from the public at all?
I accept that human errors do occur from time to time and I appreciate the prompt medical attention rendered to the affected worker. I further note the immediate halting of further vaccination exercise at SNEC, however, I am disappointed that this news was hidden from the public at a time when we are rallying and encouraging members of the public to go for their C19 jabs.
The government has to understand that at a time of massive hesitations and reservations from large quarters of our population regarding C19 and its potential side effects further down the road, Transparency commands a high premium. It is action, action and still action much more than word and people are watching. Only pap suckers believe in lalala..
Think.
I thank you for reading my post again.

Based on previous SOPs for bad news, the intention was to make sure that the
population is not alarmed.
Of greater interest is the question of who was the person who gave the injection.
The vague term of "staff" is mysterious. That he/she could be called away while
giving an injection is weird.
Finally, who conducted the training for the injecting staff?

is this person counted as one of the 4 who had adverse reactions to the vaccine.
what about compensation for negligence. MOH, SNEC is both liable.

Compensation? Don't expect more money than that which is given for a NS slave who died during training.
Ho Ching appears to defend SNEC mistake while Lawrence Wong and Gan Kim Yong remain silent - The Online Citizen Asia

Ho Ching appears to defend SNEC mistake while Lawrence Wong and Gan Kim Yong remain silent
In the wake of reports over the weekend that the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) has given a member of staff the equivalent to 5 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine due to human error, it is notable that none of the senior members of Government has addressed this mistake publicly.
In addition, the error was apparently made on 14 Jan which begs the question of why it took so long for the public to be informed?
To make matters, worse, it seems like the wife of our Prime Minister, Madam Ho Ching (Madam Ho) has attempted to defend such mistakes on her Facebook page.
Among other things, Madam Ho has said “When you have mass exercises like vaccination, it is easy to make mistakes. We are human after all.” While mistakes are understandable and sometimes unavoidable, it seems completely tone-deaf to dismiss this error when the various relevant ministers have not even spoken up on the issue.
If the mistake was made on her husband, would she be so sanguine?
While the medical director of SNEC, Professor Wong Tien Yin has apologised for the incident, saying that it has done a “thorough review” of its internal processes and has taken steps to ensure that such lapses do not happen again, it seems odd that the relevant ministers have remained quiet on this issue.
It bears remembering that we have a Multi-Agency Taskforce to manage all things COVID-19 related. This task force is co-chaired by Minister for Health, Gan Kim Yong (Gan), and former Minister for National Development (and current Minister for Education), Lawrence Wong (Wong).
Given that the vaccination exercise falls within the ambit of the taskforce, why have neither Wong nor Gan issued a public statement? Surely, it falls within their ministerial portfolios and ambits to reassure the public and be accountable for mistakes? Why hasn’t there been a press conference where both Wong and Gan are available to answer questions on this error?
Collectively, are Madam Ho, Gan and Wong trying to deflect from the mistakes that have been made?
While the Ministry of Health (MOH) has said that clinical trial data from Pfizer-BioNTech has indicated that receiving more than the recommended dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is unlikely to be harmful, shouldn’t Gan, as head of MOH be fronting such a statement as opposed to a generic statement from the ministry?
At the end of the day, the crux of the issue is not about the fact that a mistake has been made. Rather, it is a case of how that mistake has been dealt with.
The vaccination process involves all Singaporeans and is most definitely a public interest issue. The fact that the Government took nearly a month to disclose the occurrence of this mistake is in itself a red flag. The deafening silence of both Gan and Wong only serves to cause further disquiet. Madam Ho now chiming in to seemingly dismiss the enormity of the error is surely adding insult to injury.
The lateness of disclosure, the lack of proper ownership from those in charge and the apparent attempt to dismiss the enormity of the error could create the impression that those in power are hoping to sweep the matter under the carpet.
