Where to report covid vaccination side effects?

[jumbo]

I cant find anything on MOH website to report side effects. I have started seeing my doctor - it has been 3 weeks since my 2nd shot and the sustained adverse reaction that has been with me since the day after the shot. I want to tell the government. How can they speak with any authority about adverse reactions... if they don't appear to be gathering information regarding them? Surely there is a way to do so? Does anyone know?

Click the report or e-form option under vaccines.

Thank you.

I had found that form, and it appears to be for medical practitioners to report for their patients. I will ask my doctor to do so on my behalf.

In the meantime, I certainly wish there was an inviting and direct way for vaccine recipients to report on one of the greatest live science experiment of our time. So much data to be gathered that isn't being gathered.

Gvt seems obviously interested to give it out, but not very conducive to gathering data. It's a one-way deal right now. I've become a little cynical: just take it and shut up, unless it is life threatening or an immediate allergic reaction.

Yes, it would be better if more people knew about the form. I guess the form is for medical staff only because they know the appropriate terminology, otherwise it would be quite a pain for the government to have to follow-up with each report to find out the exact issue.

If you actually been vaccinated, I'd recommend you take a look at the print out Covid-19 Vaccination Card, and the follow the very simple advice what to do:
See a doctor if needed or self report any side effects at the site that is listed on it.

There is of course that one thing that makes reporting the vaccine side effects difficult as you actually have to give your IC, so anonymous rumours are not collected.

Yes, but it’s pointless to be told to self report if you aren’t told where to self report.

I think it’s a good thing. Weeds out any disingenuous reporting and saves time and effort for admin staff.

It is told to everyone who got the vaccination. I did not put the link here on purpose as everyone who had the vaccine in Singapore would have received that information too. And if you haven't, why would you need to know where to report it

The OP had already been vaccinated, probably just overlooked the information by mistake.

That is a possibility of course.

But call me sceptic, when a new member who joins this forum to complain about something (behind the question), and taking into account that there has been reported smear campaigns against vaccinations:

I take it with a pinch of salt, or some reservation.

This is not to say that there are no side effects, I didn't get anything really myself, but our helper got her 2nd shot on Monday, and she's been a bit down a few days. That was Moderna though and mine was Pfizer.

Same thing happened with my parents. My father got Pfizer, was fine the whole time. My mom on the other hand got Moderna, and was unwell for a couple days.

My wife got Pizer and she was reasonably ok except some pain and bruises in the jab location. I, on the other hand got Moderna and ended up sick (fever, muscle pain) I had not been in two decades or so. Panadol helped so I was ok already on the 3rd day. Same happened to a colleague of mine.
This was expected, but perhaps not with such severity. I would be actually more concerned if I had no reaction.

I felt like crap when I received the small pox vaccine decades ago.

I also felt off when I received the rabies and JE vaccines. I soldiered on through those short term effects.

If you are indeed suffering long term effects, the look into the booklet that you received when you were vaccinated to report to official channels using the QR code.

Can I know what side effects are you experiencing? Was it moderna or pfizer that you took?
