With the controversy surrounding mRNA vaccines, many in my age group ( above 60) are hesitating about being vaccinated.

i am speaking for this segment of "holdouts" for the traditional vaccines. We are more comfortable with the latter because the technology is more established and has been used for decades against polio and flus. The health risks of traditional vaccines had a longer time to surface and were remedied. Whereas, new technology mRNA are still being trialed in the general population. Authorities appear to highlight the benefits and mitigate their risks.

We are not objecting to being vaccinated. We are asking for the traditional vaccines e.g. Sinovac, that use dead or weakened viruses.

We can appreciate the importance of reaching herd immunity as soon as possible so Singapore can open her borders, and how vital the latter is for the economic survival of our country. However, we appeal to the authorities to accede to our request for the traditional vaccines.

Why subject our small population to mRNA vaccines with unknown and potentially harmful side effects. The traditional attenuated vaccines are tried and tested, that should be the de facto vaccine for all Singaporeans. We are too small a population to risk potential medical misadventures

I have anaphylaxis reaction before & would like to be vaccinated with the traditional vaccines than risk it with m RNA vaccines.

Although I’m scheduled to have the first Pfizer jab very soon, I feel the traditional vaccines like SinoVac (already arrived & under storage in Singapore & Malaysia recently) should be offered to seniors ASAP, once the clearance document is issued/approved alongside with Pfizer & Moderna.

I don't want the risk of finding how mRNA can go wrong decades later. Give me something that has been tested and proven. Either Sinovac or Bharti India vaccine are ok, or any vaccine using old technology proven over time.

The traditional vaccination route can also cater for more of those currently unable to receive mRNA options because of food allergies, immune system reactions and so on. Am thankful that our SG govt cares and is inclusive.

If something can go wrong it will. Better be safe than sorry. One way of making those about 60 years old feel assured that vaccination is safe is allow them to choose the vaccine.

Mass vaccination of the population to reach a level of herd immunity is possibly a fallacy. There are many experts in the medical field who had sounded clear loud warnings on the adverse side effects that vaccinations bring about. Quite a number of these side effects had already occurred in our community. It will hence, not be prudent for the authority to ignore such warnings as health and lives of our citizens are at stake.

We want the traditional vaccine. It is the safest and most reliable type. Not comfortable with mRNA vaccine and still unreliable
