But they will need to practise health standard operating procedures (SOPs) like wearing masks to avoid being exposed to the coronavirus before getting the second jab of the vaccine, says the Health Ministry. “All those who received the vaccine do not need to be quarantined, but they must follow current relevant SOPs such as frequently sanitising their hands and keeping their distance from others as usual, ” the ministry’s disease control division tells Sunday Star.
