A 72-year-old Singaporean man was recently admitted into ICU at Tan Tock Seng Hospital on Tuesday (Feb 19) after receiving the Covid-19 vaccination earlier in the day.
The man suffered from a cardiac arrest and the MOH has said that there is no indication that the cardiac arrest was due to the Covid-19 vaccination.
MOH also stated that the man has a history of cancer, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, a condition related to abnormal cholesterol. Further investigations are being held to establish the cause of the man’s cardiac arrest.
Before getting his jab, the man had been assessed by trained healthcare personnel to be suitable for the Covid-19 vaccination, MOH said.
“In line with our protocols, he was also observed on-site for about 30 minutes post-vaccination and was well.”
