Goh shared that he decided to take the vaccine despite having concerns about the possible side effects because "prevention is better than cure".

He received the vaccine at Marine Parade Community Centre with some 60 senior residents.

He also commended that the vaccination process was smooth and organised.

Separately on his Instagram, Goh added that he went for a one-hour walk in the zoo after his vaccination.
