What a world of difference between UK & S’pore’s Covid statistics?

April 8, 2022

For example:
Latest UK government data (27 Mar) on deaths (age 80 or over) by vaccination status:
3rd dose 80.6%
2nd dose 12.2%
1st dose 1.5%
Not vaccinated 5.5%
Unlinked 0.2%

(page 44)
In contrast, in S’pore – for “age and vaccination status” statistics – we have Proportion (%) of cases who died, by age and vaccination – (From 1 May 21 to 15 Mar 22?) (instead of latest weekly in the UK) – Fully vaccinated with booster, fully vaccinated without booster & non-fully vaccinated (instead of 3rd dose, 2nd dose, 1st dose, Not vaccinated & Unlinked, in the UK)
https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/statistics
So, the S’pore statistics, arguably does not enable us to compute the latest weekly breakdown of the deaths by age & vaccination status (3rd dose, 2nd dose, 1st dose, Not vaccinated & Unlinked – like in the example at the beginning of the subject article)
Note: The S’pore statistics’ non-fully vaccinated includes the partially vaccinated, previously fully vaccinated but now deemed as non-fully vaccinated because the required 3rd dose was not taken, etc
UK vaccination rates (7 Apr):
Booster 67.7%
2nd dose 86.1%
1st dose 91.9%

S’pore vaccination rates (8 Apr)
Booster 72.0%
2nd dose 92.0%
1st dose 93.0%
