Seniors with Covid-19 booster shots three times less likely to die or be critically ill, says Singapore health minister

SINGAPORE, June 20 (The Straits Times/ANN): Seniors who have taken their vaccine booster shots are three times less likely to die or become severely ill from Covid-19, compared with those in the same cohort who had only two shots, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday.

Seniors with all three shots have a three in 1,000 chance of these negative outcomes, while those with two shots have a 10 in 1,000 chance of this happening.
