Help frontline staff firstIt's a shame that all frontline workers -- doctors, nurses and healthcare personnel -- have not received Covid-19 vaccines yet. But these touching visuals and show of appreciation mean nothing when in practice some medical workers are left to battle the outbreak without a vaccine. News from the Centre of the Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) that 146 medical workers have been infected with Covid-19 from April 1-13 is upsetting. Mr Chuan on Monday said he would not receive Covid-19 jabs until all medical personnel fighting the pandemic are inoculated. The veteran politician was spot-on when he said it is understandable for MPs and other groups of people to be allocated the vaccines but front-line medical personnel are in every way at greater risk of contracting the virus.
