THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: As an employer, would you encourage your staff to get vaccinated against Covid-19? Will you get the jab yourself when your turn comes?

The age-old maxim ”health is wealth” is perhaps even more relevant to all of us ever since the coronavirus began running rampant all over the world. Regardless of how we view the vaccines, one thing all of us can agree on is that our health and well-being remains a top priority.

The current conversations surrounding the vaccines are both robust and pertinent. On one hand, many are relieved that the vaccines are finally here. On the other hand, many are cautious. The top concerns are the speed at which the vaccines have birthed forth, potential sideeffects that may occur, and whether the vaccine can protect against new strains. According to information on gov.sg, the vaccines comply with the World Health Organization’s guidelines and meet standards of safety, quality and efficacy. Hence, I would get the jab when my turn comes and encourage our staff to get vaccinated as well.
