When Mr Kenneth Tay, 36, heard that his six-year-old daughter could get vaccinated against Covid-19 without an appointment from yesterday onwards, he leapt at the opportunity.
His reason? To keep his family, and especially his six-month-old baby, safe from the virus.
Any child aged five to 11 can now walk in without an appointment for Covid-19 vaccination from Mondays to Thursdays, accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The businessman, who had been waiting to get his daughter inoculated since the vaccination drive for children her age began early this month, wanted to speed up the process.
Yesterday, he took his daughter to Hougang Community Club, one of the 15 paediatric vaccination centres for children between five and 11, after school at around noon.
