Red Cross vaccinates over 800-K

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has now administered 807,976 doses at its 26 Bakuna Centers, 17 Bakuna Buses, and Bakuna Teams nationwide as of Dec. 23.

In a news release on Dec. 26, PRC Chairman and CEO Sen. Richard Gordon said the Red Cross is continuously working together with the rest of the country to help stop the pandemic.

“Kahit maraming hamon ngayon ang ating bansa, ang Red Cross ay patuloy na nagpapadala ng mga bakuna sa mga tao, at palagi naming tinitiyak ang kaligtasan at pagiging epektibo ng mga bakuna dahil tulong-tulong tayong upang mapigilan na ang pandemya,” he said.

As the Department of Health (DOH) shortened the gap between the second dose or primary dose and booster shot, PRC encouraged everyone to get their booster shot as soon as they can.

According to the DOH’s latest policy, adults can get their booster shot three months after their last dose or two months for those who got the one-dose Janssen vaccine.

“The best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the people around you is by getting vaccinated,” Gordon said. (PRC) – jlo
