MOP with Covid-19 infection twice. What to do? (Updated 3 April 2022)

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 04:26:17 UTC

Hi guys, there are pts that are infected with Covid-19 twice. Do look at their discharge memo in MOMCARE (MW), Tracetgt or Vacc card for verification. (R-M)

Recovered from Covid-19 twice can be a permutations like this.
Example: R-M-R +M (Coming here for booster.)

Recovered ICP patient M-M-R +M (Considered D3) and advice to return more than 150 days for B1 with Memo.

Similarly, we have to ensure pt is 150 (120) days from D1* and 90 (28) days from Covid-19 infection date of diagnosis. ~~Do check with OM/NM for FA approval~~. Key in 'Patient wish to take' & 'FA name either John or Richard.'

Update on 18 Feb briefing to all on Overseas Vacc/ FWMOM Care App/ ICP Booster/ STVP/ Dont turn away pts/ Covid Naive

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 04:29:38 UTC

Just to update the rest on what was briefed earlier.

1) Overseas Vaccination
Instead of asking if serology has been performed, ask if MOP have visited a clinic in Sg to get their vaccination records ingested.

Digitally verifiable overseas vaccination from selected countries does not require serology. But it does not mean that we can use MOP e-certs as evidence of vaccination. They will need to go to a clinic first.

Inform MOP to confirm with source/clinic when their records have been uploaded. May take up to a week for it to be reflected properly. If low loads and there's urgency to vaccinate, ask duty Dr to check.

2) FWMOMCare App for migrant workers. All their details ie: address, dob, covid infection status, discharge memo, vaccination or ART records are in there. Ask MW to show it to u if u require verification.

3) ICP Booster
Earlier today, we had an ICP MOP, presented with a memo from specialist to take booster. M-M-M+M. As MOP has completed the enhanced primary series, the 4th dose count as booster 0.25mls instead of 0.5mls. There may be more of this group coming in.

4) Feedback that our VC staff turned away MOP or directed to other VC. Do not turn away MOP unnecessarily. If unsure, check with OM first.

5) AG+ interval 90 days, minimum 28 days with ~~FA approval~~. (Duty Manager approval) Official comms is 90 days please (28 days). If AG+ not found in Healthhub and 'Known Alerts', consider as Covid naive.

6) Short Term Visit Pass (STVP). Minimum interval is 60 days. If < 60, inform MOP to extend pass. Do not vaccinate.

Ensure MOP coming into our Centre is 18 years and above!

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 04:31:17 UTC

Guys, i would like to emphasize on screening the walk-ins. Pls ensure MOPs are 18 & above (By date of Birth). Do check their IC and do not assume.

For staff manning the access control and registration counters CAA 15 Feb 2022

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 04:33:53 UTC

[For Compliance]

For staff manning the access control and registration counters Pls note of the following:

1. Whoever vac status expired and turned up at the VC, we can vaccinate them.

2. Whoever declared that they had a self administered AG+ result, treat them as Covid naive and vaccinate them so long they meet the Min interval between D2 and booster jab according to their age band.

3. Whoever declared that they are Covid Recovered with C+ record ingested into the system, check if they meet the 28 days from C+ diagnosis date, if less than, advise them to return after that. If they meet, to vaccinate them.

MOH instructions is to vaccinate as many as possible and the only time where we do not administer vaccination is when the MOP is medically ineligible.

How dose third dose on SMS invites look like?

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 04:37:40 UTC

Guys, do take note of how a third dose sms look like. This will be send to pt that are on kidney dialysis. We can either check their sms or memo to verify when they are on kidney dialysis. If there is none, do clarify with OM/NM/Dr.

For Icp pt, they can take their D3 vaccination after 60 days.

Which Digitally verifiable vacc certs are exempted from Serology testing?

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 05:20:12 UTC

Dr Liew has noticed our staff always ask MOP for serology results when they receive overseas vaccine. Pls note that not all overseas vaccine require serology test and thus should focus on whether overseas vaccination records are ingested properly, i.e. visible on their HealthHub or NIR.

Holders of the following types of certificates may be exempted from serology testing for their vaccinations to be recognised:

EU Digital COVID Certificate (EU DCC), including formats cross-compatible with the EU DCC system such as the UK’s NHS Covid Pass
[Australia] International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate
[India] Co-WIN International Travel Certificate
[Malaysia] Digital Certificate for COVID-19 Vaccination from MySejahtera app

MOH: Let’s remind ourselves #OneVac=OneLifeSaved!#

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 05:26:23 UTC

Team.
We should give ourselves a pat on our back and recognize the important role we have taken on thus far in this vaccination journey.

Between Aug 1, 2021, and Dec 31, 2021, when Delta variant infections peaked in Singapore, our unified and aggressive vaccination campaign has averted about 8,000 deaths, 33,000 severe cases and 112,000 hospitalisation episodes.

Log down all cases of Covid-19 positive cases whom we turned away [For immediate attention and compliance] CAA 25 Feb 2022

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 05:48:25 UTC

[For immediate attention and compliance]

To clarify, there are 2 intervals here:

1. Booster Interval regardless if the MOP is a Covid-19 recovered person:

a. Ops Flex of 120 days is only allowed for those aged 18 and above.

2. Interval after Covid-19 Infection until next dose of COVID vaccine, applicable to both Primary series and booster dose:

a. Ops flex of 28 days is allowed for Covid-19 recovered persons

b. Ops flex of 28 days is applicable to those aged 5 yo and above.

For a recovered covid-19 person, both the intervals must be satisfied according to the age band.

MOH wants us to log down all cases of Covid-19 positive cases whom we turned away with the reasons stated in the log (I.e. either not meeting the booster ops flex interval or the 28 days interval after Covid-19 infection. This will come in handy whenever a complaint is received. Pls log case with Duty Manager.

Check if you need a booster shot

All pregnant women at any trimester can be vaccinated

melvingoh77 — 2022-02-25 07:37:16 UTC

[For Immediate Attention]

MOH Circular 154/2021 dated 27 Oct 2021 refers. Pls be reminded that all pregnant women at any trimester can be vaccinated in the VCs without the need to produce any medical memo so long they meet the requirement such as booster interval.

While we recommend that they discuss their vaccination with their obstetrician, this is after all their choice.

Pregnancy or absence of a medical memo is not a reason for VCs to defer anyone from vaccination.

MOP who declared Self Administered Ag+

2022-02-26 00:50:29 UTC

MOPs who disclose that they are self-administered Ag+ will not have an official record of their COVID infection in our national IT system. They will remain eligible for primary series and booster. However, they are recommended to take their next eligible COVID vaccine dose 90 days (min. 28 days, 28 days is the hardline) after their self administered Ag+.

For immediate compliance, pls.

Thank you!

Question on Sinovac/ Sinopharm combination

2022-03-07 05:40:11 UTC

Many of you are still asking me about MOPs who took Sinovac/ Sinopharm.

MOP who completed primary course of vaccination (WHO approved vaccine except sinovac), 18 years old above, If patient C+, 28 days from COVID and 120 days from 2nd dose, allow for booster *if MOP insist*. No C+, allow booster 120 days from dose 2.

*For Sinovac/sinopharm MOPs:*

1. S-S-R +M, allow for 28 days from R (Covid Recovered) , allow 120 days for booster if MOP insist, *it's not considered as dose 3.*

2. S-S+M, no Covid, 90 days for *Dose 3*

3. S-S-S +M, no Covid, 90 days for *Booster*
If R-S-S-S + M (No requirement to take booster. pls approach Duty Manager or FA if MOP insist)

4. S-S-M+ M (no Covid), * 120 days* from dose 3 (moderna/Pfizer)

5. S +M The interval between S and M must be 17 days. Pls ensure to book another appt 28 days later to take an M.

6. S-M +M The interval between the 2 Ms must be 28 days to complete primary series

If unsure. Pls ask the duty manager or doctor.

MOP with R-M-M or R-O-O or R-S-S insist on taking booster. To Key in 'patient wish to take Booster' (Updated 3 April 2022)

melvingoh77 — 2022-03-07 07:59:49 UTC

If MOP request on taking a booster +M after R-M-M or R-O-O or R-S-S. Do advise them it is not required for this group of people. If still insist, ~~pls raise this to the duty manager and~~ 'key into the notes as 'patient wish to take'. Ensure more than 90 days after '2nd dose of S' or '120 days after 2nd dose of M/O.'

If 2nd M/O interval is 90 days after 1st M/O. No booster required. (R is 28 June 2021/ M1 is 28 Nov 2021/ M2 is 28 Feb 2022) No booster required as M1 to M2 is more than 90 days

Vaccination Error. A good reminder for all (CAA 18 Mar 2022)

2022-03-18 00:36:15 UTC

Morning Team,

*[For Attention and Reminder]*

Yesterday one of the Vaccination Centre (not ours) had a vac error whereby a 74 yo non-immunocompromised MOP was being administered a 4th dose. Both the reg staff and vaccinator had *assumed* that the MOP had yet to take his B1. There are a few areas to highlight:

1. When reg staff could not register the MOP, *pls pay special attention to check thoroughly* and not to simply register the MOP manually;

2. When the Vaccinator could not order a B1 in the system, *pls check with the Nurse Manager/Doctor* before the needle goes into the skin. Do not ignore and proceed to jab without CLARIFYING as what was done cannot be undone. We have the duty to ensure MOPs’ safety; and

3. All reg staff and vaccinator are to *scroll down the page to view all the doses in the vaccination History*. Without scrolling down, staff only see Dose 1 and Dose 2 in the screen so *pls don’t assume.*

For your cooperation, pls.

As from today 21 Mar 2022, we are no longer required to do our weekly Rostered Routine Test / ART anymore.

I am self-tested as ART+ after two mRNA vaccine doses, should I still get my booster?

melvingoh77 — 2022-03-22 04:38:35 UTC

ANSWER

The default is yes. A booster dose will confer longer protection. As recommended by the Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination (EC19V), it is safe for persons who have recovered from COVID-19 to receive a booster dose.

Get your booster 90 days or more after the infection.

You may receive your next vaccine dose 28 days after infection, although you are recommended to do so three months from the infection for better effectiveness.

MOPs who disclose that they are self-administered Ag+ will not have an official record of their COVID infection in our national IT system. They will remain eligible for primary series and booster. However, they are recommended to take their next eligible COVID vaccine dose 90 days (min. 28 days, 28 days is the hardline) after their self administered Ag+.

For immediate compliance, pls.

Thank you!

Annex A - Table 1: Summary Table of Vaccination Recommendations

2022-04-07 00:24:05 UTC

SECOND BOOSTER DOSE (B2) OF COVID-19 VACCINE The following groups of persons are now recommended to receive a second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine (i.e. fourth dose if receiving an mRNA vaccine) from about five months after receiving their first booster dose under the National Vaccination Programme:

a. All persons aged 80 years and above;
b. Persons living in aged care facilities, such as nursing homes;
c. Medically vulnerable persons who are at increased risk of severe disease due to significant medical risk factors* .

* Vulnerable persons may receive a fourth dose as recommended by their doctors. Vulnerable persons are individuals who are at increased risk of severe disease due to significant medical risk factors. These include persons with chronic diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and other organ systems. This recommendation does not apply to persons aged below 12 years, as no booster dose is recommended for them at this time

Referral of Medically Vulnerable Persons for the Second Booster Dose

2022-04-07 02:09:59 UTC

Medically vulnerable persons are individuals who are at increased risk of severe disease due to underlying medical risk factors. This includes, but is not limited to, persons with chronic diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organ systems.

Doctors should identify their patients who are at increased risk of severe disease based on clinical assessment, and refer these persons for a second booster dose. These persons may receive their vaccinations in a community vaccination site with a completed referral form (see Annex B) or at the patient’s treating healthcare institution, if available. Patients may walk-in to their community vaccination sites with the completed referral form to receive these vaccines.

Booster Recommendations for Immunocompromised Persons (Attached Annex B)

2022-04-07 04:27:44 UTC

Persons with moderate to severe immunocompromise are recommended to receive four doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, comprising a three-dose 3 enhanced primary series and a booster dose for the fourth dose. (see Annex A for Summary of Vaccination Recommendations). To avoid any doubt, there is currently no recommendation for a fifth vaccine dose in this group.

However, some immunocompromised persons may have followed the vaccination regime recommended for the general population (i.e. received the third dose as a booster dose after receiving the first two doses as part of the primary series).

Medical practitioners with patients who have followed this regime should remind these patients to receive a fourth dose (i.e. a second booster dose) of the vaccine at around five months after their third dose. Vaccination can be received either in a community vaccination site with a completed referral form or at the patients treating healthcare institution, if available. Please use the revised referral form in Annex B to refer the patients to community vaccination site.

Patients may walk-in to their community vaccination sites with the completed referral form to receive the additional doses.

The recommendation for immunocompromised persons to receive four doses applies to persons aged 12 years and above. Persons aged 5 to 11 years who are immunocompromised are recommended three doses as part of the enhanced primary series, but no booster dose is recommended for this age group at this time.

Refer to Annex A & B

Ops Update for Vaccination of Persons No Longer Medically Ineligible to receive mRNA Vaccines

2022-04-07 12:36:16 UTC

This is an updates medical practitioners on the following revisions regarding the contraindications to receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines authorised for use under the Health Sciences Authority’s Pandemic Special Access Route

a. Persons with severe allergies (including anaphylaxis) to other vaccines can receive the mRNA vaccines. Local and international safety data now indicate more clearly that persons with severe allergies to other vaccines can be safely vaccinated with mRNA vaccines. There is no longer any requirement for such persons to undergo a review by a specialist to determine their suitability for vaccination.

b. Polysorbate allergy is removed as a contraindication to receiving a mRNA vaccine. The mRNA vaccines do not contain polysorbate. The initial precaution around polysorbate allergy (e.g. to other vaccines) was out of concern over possible cross-reactivity with polyethylene glycol (PEG) due to their structural similarities and case series based on skin test. To date, global evidence that anaphylaxis to the mRNA vaccines is predominantly caused by PEG (and cross-reactivity with polysorbate) has not been conclusive. International public health authorities, such as the US CDC, have moved away from citing polysorbate allergy as a contraindication.

c. Persons who are known to be allergic to polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is a component of mRNA vaccines, will however continue to not be suitable for the mRNA vaccines. This is encompassed in the existing contraindication for persons with allergy to mRNA vaccines and their components.

Questions on What Should I do?

2022-04-09 00:38:38 UTC

1. Non-ICP MOP comes in with the following
D1/ D2/ B1/ C+ requesting for B2? What should I do?

Answer: Recommend 90 days after C+ and 150 days after B1. Proceed with B2 if patient insist. Ops Flex 120 after D2/ 28 days after C+.

2. Non-ICP MOP comes in for B2. There is a booster link found in NAS. What should I do?

Answer: Register them using the NAS Link and verify their previous doses through CMS/ EMR Vaccination History. NAS will not show past B1 doses.

3. ICP MOP comes in for B1 (4th dose) with 3 previous doses of Pfizer vaccines. What should I do?

Answer: ~~Inform them that MOH highly encouraged for them to take the same brand of vaccine. If MOP insist. Inform doctor on duty and do record down as 'MOP wish to take after explanation' and~~ upload the memo in EMR. Proceed with B2. Check with doctor on duty.

4. ICP MOP comes in with primary enhanced series (D1/D2/D3/B1) requesting for B2. What should I do?

Answer: No recommendation for a second booster dose for immunocompromised persons who have already received four doses of COVID-19 vaccine ie. They have completed their three-dose enhanced primary series regime and already received one booster dose. There is no recommendation for a fifth vaccine dose for this group of individuals. If MOP insist, kindly ask for memo if any and check with doctor on duty.
