An expert committee has been set up by Singapore’s Ministry of Health to advise and assess the efficacy and safety of Covid-19 vaccines.

The committee was formed last month, and this comes as American company Pfizer claimed its experimental Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective. Pfizer also expects to seek US authorisation this month for emergency use of the vaccine.

Speaking at the Multi-Ministry Task Force (MTF) press conference on Nov 10, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong revealed the committee will comprise experts in infectious diseases, immunology and other relevant fields.
