SINGAPORE, Jan 29\u00a0\u00a0— Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong received his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at Singapore General Hospital today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith that, I have completed the full vaccination regimen,\u201d Lee wrote on Facebook with a video of him receiving the jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust like my first jab, it was quick and painless. The doctors watched me for 30 minutes afterwards, just in case. Happy to share that I feel fine,\u201d he wrote further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee had his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Jan 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo go for your vaccination when your turn comes. It will protect not only yourself, but also your family, friends and everyone you come in contact with,\u201d Lee advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Jan 27, the republic’s Ministry of Health said more than 113,000 individuals have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 50 individuals have also received their second dose of the vaccine and completed the full vaccination regimen, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shipment of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines arrived in Singapore on Dec 21 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The republic began its vaccination exercise on Dec 30 with healthcare workers at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) the first to get the vaccine shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
