We are glad to see many turning up for covid-19 booster jabs these past couple of months.
We are also administering primary series (1st 2 doses) covid19 vaccinations for a small number of vaccinees on almost a daily basis. It is heartening to see that some who were previously hesitant about vaccinations have decided on doing what current medical evidence shows to be best for them and for their loved ones.
We all have concerns about the efficacy and safety of covid 19 vaccinations. However, it is starkly evident that receiving a complete course of covid-19 vaccinations, as well as, subsequent boosters, give us the best chance to protect ourselves and our loved ones during this covid-19 pandemic.
Clarification regarding walk-in vaccinations:
1. We are assigned a list of vaccinees for booster vaccinations from Monday-Friday, 9am to 4pm. Walk-ins for primary series vaccinations or booster shots are allowed only if those scheduled do not turn up and there are vacancies.
2. We advise walk ins to turn up between 12 to 4pm, as we can start vaccinating walking only if those scheduled in the morning fail to turn up.
3. There is no guarantee you will be vaccinated as it depends on availability of vaccine.
4. Also, pfizer vaccines comes in vials of 6 doses each. Our Ministry of Health has a strict 0 wastage policy for covid-19 vaccines. Towards the later part of the afternoon, we will not open new vials of vaccine unless we have 6 vaccinees on site.
For this reason, we have had to defer some to the next day. Even some on the scheduled list have had to be turned away at times. We have always assured those who are turned away that they will be prioritised for vaccination on the next vaccination day.
We hope the above helps better clarify the covid-19 vaccination programme at Landmark Medical Centre, for those who are keen to receive free government assigned pfizer vaccinations at our centre.
Almost all our vaccinees have commented on a smooth and pleasant vaccination experience at our hospital and we do hope that we can continue to serve our public well! 😀
For those who are still hesitating regarding your vaccinations, do not hesitate any further.
