DOH: 61.4-M Filipinos now fully vaccinated

By Pearl Gumapos

The Department of Health (DOH) on Monday (Feb. 14) reported that there are now 61.4 million fully-vaccinated Filipinos, while nine million have received their booster doses.

DOH Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said that almost 100% of the eligible population in NCR have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 99% are fully vaccinated.

“Ang kailangang pataasin sa NCR ay iyong booster doses. Maraming areas sa NCR ang medyo mababa ang coverage ng A2 o senior citizens…Kailangan pang i-push natin iyong A2,” Cabotaje said.

Cabotaje said that health workers continue their efforts to vaccinate senior citizens and immunocompromised individuals.

“Ang ating local health workers, ang ginagawa nila, nagbabahay-bahay sila para makita kung sino iyong hindi pa nababakunahan. Papalapitin na iyong ating vaccination sites sa ating mga senior citizens. Gagawing mas madali para hindi sila mahihirapang magpa-register,” she said. – bny
