An engineer in Singapore was recently diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) after receiving Pfizer's SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. This is the second confirmed case after vaccination in Singapore recently. The Ministry of Health of Singapore clarified that this vaccine does not contain live viruses, so it is impossible to cause infection due to the vaccine.
The Ministry of Health of Singapore confirmed to the public on Monday (9 February) that a 30-year-old Indian man in the country was diagnosed with the CCP virus on 6 February after receiving the first dose of Pfizer vaccine on 27 January.
According to Taiwan’s Central News Agency, the Indian man worked as an engineer for the Singapore communications company Station Satcom, and was engaged in the installation of communications equipment and IT equipment on board ships. The engineer had contact with a confirmed person earlier in January of this year, and therefore underwent isolation and observation from 13 to 24 January. During this period, several tests were taken, and the results were all negative, including 1. The nucleic acid test received on 29 January was also negative.
Unexpectedly, a few days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine and lifting the isolation, the man developed symptoms of fatigue on 4 February and developed fever on 5 February. He was tested on the same day and was diagnosed on 6 February.
According to the analysis of this case, the Ministry of Health of Singapore pointed out that the man's serum test result was positive, he developed fever and other symptoms, and the Ct value of the PCR nucleic acid test was very low. So it was determined that he was infected with the Chinese Communist virus recently.
The Ministry of Health further explained that it usually takes several weeks for the human body to develop immunity after being vaccinated, so this man may be infected by the virus before and after the vaccination.
Earlier, there was already a case in Singapore that was still diagnosed after vaccination. A 72-year-old baggage inspector at Changi Airport tested positive for the virus on 28 January after receiving the first dose of vaccine on 25 January 2021.
According to the Ministry of Health of Singapore, so far, a total of 59,732 people in the country have been diagnosed with covid, and 29 people have died due to the epidemic.
The second shot must be taken with care.
