Timeline for registration
From 22nd Feb - Registration for COVID-19 vaccination for seniors aged 70 years and above commenced island-wide.
From 10th March - Seniors aged 60 to 69 years were initially slated for registration at the end of March. It was later brought forward as more vaccines came in. It was around this time that vaccinations are offered for migrant workers and educators.
From 24th March - Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term residents aged 45 to 59 can begin registering online for their COVID-19 vaccinations.
From 19th May - those aged 40 to 44 years will also be invited to register for their vaccinations.
*********************
Hubby and I didn't register at the given deadline, still a little hesistant over the efficacy of the vaccine.
But with the rising cases in mid May (where schools had to go on HBL within the week). Lil' one was being "offered" the vaccine. "The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been authorised by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to be used for children between 12 and 15 years old, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Tuesday (May 18)."
On 5th June 2021, another message was posted on Parents Gateway
Assistance for Vaccination Appointments for P6, S1-3, JC1, PU1-2 Students:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
You would have received the SMS with the unique booking link for your child/ward’s COVID-19 vaccination appointments <for P6 only: If your child had turned 12 as of 1 Jun>. Please log in with your child’s NRIC, and book as soon in order to secure appointments on your preferred dates before the slots are opened to other groups. Please note that this link is unique to your child. If you have not received the SMS, please check if it was sent to your spouse. If both parents did not receive the SMS, please complete the FormSG and the SMS invite will be sent by 11 June.
<for P6 only: If your child is turning 12 between 2 to 7 June>, the SMS invite would only be sent by 8 June.
For parents without local handphone number, a letter of authorization and a signed hard copy medical declaration can be issued to a Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident (e.g. family member) who can make the registration appointment on your behalf. The parents remain responsible for filling in the consent and medical declaration form. The authorised individuals will then complete the FormSG to submit their contact number. The student should bring along a copy of the signed authorisation and declaration forms on the day of the vaccination.
We would also like to inform you that when your child arrives at the vaccination centre, there will be a detailed set of screening questions to be answered by your child as part of the screening process. We are enclosing a copy of this form for your reference, and also for you to explain to your child regarding the information required at the vaccination centre. Also, please try to be contactable on your handphone during the expected appointment time of your childat the vaccination centre, should there be a need for the vaccination centre staff to call you to verify any of the information.
Thank you.

Non-receipt of SMS Invites for Students
With increasing cases in Singapore, we felt the urgency to be vaccinated. So we all registered for vaccination. It was easy to book lil' one's vaccination as the students were all given their own link. Registration was done and confirmation sent the next day. At first we thought "wow! she's the first to be jabbed!"

A check with the medical hall guy, he advised to give 泡参 a day before the jab. And 2 days in advance for the 2nd jab as the side effects are worse than the first. But being kiasu, I gave 2 days in advance and 4 days in advance for the 2nd jab. And then brew herbal drink the same day after the jab. Coz the girls and myself prefer to drink chilled herbal drink, I'll usually boil the day before the jab. I stocked up on my no sugar JiaJia herbal can drink in the fridge as well.
Like clockwork, when everyone's due for their second vaccination, as our dates were very close to one another. [Aricia - 19/7(Mon), Hubby - 23/7(Fri), Athena's n mine - 27/7(Tue)] we were drinking 泡参 literally on a daily basis. I'll give the 第一篇 to the person taking the jab, then 第二篇 to the next person taking the jab and since the 泡参 is so expensive - $260/两 (abt 50g) - I'll make 第三篇, 第四篇 to the rests. And nobody eats the 泡参 which by now is very blend except me. I ate alot! And almost finishing the 100g bottle of 泡参.
Vaccination side effects
1st vaccination - All of us were alright except for the arm sore and slight tiredness. Though I was tired, I was able to keep myself awake, wasn't like dragging a half dead body around. By second day we were all ok, back to normal. I went for FightDo but didn't myself too much.
2nd vaccination - Lil' one and me had fever the same night we took the jab. Lil' one felt tired in school and she fell asleep at the last period which was PE. She managed to survive through her POA tuition but surrendered the next day's Chinese tuition (haha!). Her fever was mild, the highest it went up to was 38.3. Slept with her for 2 nights to keep tabs on her. Her arm sore but ok the next day. Still tired so let her rest.
Hubby and che-che were basically tired. Arm sore - yes. But they're not one who will complain pain. But I did noticed they were tired.
Che-che and I had our jabs the same day, we went out after our jabs to Orchard Rd as she needed to look for proper attire to wear on presentation days. I thought it'd be a good idea to chiong out the same day as we wouldn't get any signs or symptoms so fast, also just incase we might be half dead on bed the next day. My arm was sore in the late afternoon, I couldn't even hook my bra. Haha! By next day, I was fine. But I had fever, the highest it went was 38.1. No problem for che-che, I took her temperature once in a while. The next day, Wed, maybe coz we also had to wake up early for aircon servicing we didn't get sufficient sleep. After the guy left, we plonked to bed. I popped panadols and slept while hubby went to pick lil' one up from school. That's the reason why the adults had to take our jabs on different days, we still need a functioning adult in the house.
Alot of people have symptoms as if they were run over by lorries. All lying down in bed, all weak, headache, fever etc.... I'm glad we're all so strong, the 泡参 helped us alot! Never help also must say it did lah! So expensive..
