More than 30,000 people with a history of anaphylaxis due to food or medication will be invited to register for the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Ministry of Health lifted on Jun 5 the restrictions on the use of COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines on some people with a history of anaphylaxis, allowing them to now receive the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna jab.
The ministry recommended that people with a history of anaphylaxis or allergic reactions to other drugs, food, insect stings or unknown triggers can be vaccinated with a 30-minute observation period after the jab.
People with a history of anaphylaxis due to any component of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine are still not recommended to receive the jab.
As of Wednesday, Singapore has reported 62,223 COVID-19 cases and 34 fatalities.
