About 5.7 per 100,000 young people under the age of 18 who were fully vaccinated against Covid-19 came down with a rare and severe inflammatory syndrome after getting infected with the coronavirus.
This is compared with an incidence of 38 per 100,000 among young people under 18 who got Covid-19 and were not fully vaccinated, as at Aug 29.
The multi-system inflammatory syndrome is a condition where a child's immune system overreacts after a Covid-19 infection, typically two to eight weeks later.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung shared these figures on Tuesday, in his reply to Mr Yip Hon Weng (Yio Chu Kang).
Asked if Covid-19 vaccination will be included in the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule, Mr Ong told the House there are no plans to do so at this point.
He noted that the pandemic situation is dynamic and recommendations continue to evolve with new data. "MOH will review this when appropriate," he added.
