Fourth nat'l vax drive to prioritize far-flung areas—DOH
The Department of Health (DOH) aims to vaccinate individuals in remote and far-flung areas during the fourth wave of the "Bayanihan, Bakunahan" national vaccination drive this March.
The DOH will prioritize senior citizens who have not yet completed their primary dose series and those eligible for booster shots in this drive.
To reach people in indigenous communities and Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs), house-to-house vaccinations will be conducted.
The DOH is collaborating with local government units and the private sector, utilizing pharmacies, clinics, transportation terminals, and even churches as vaccination sites.
The fourth national vaccination drive aims to inoculate a total of 1.8 million individuals nationwide.
The vaccination drive is scheduled for March 10, 11, and 12, and will extend to homes and workplaces.
The government's target is to fully vaccinate 77 million Filipinos by the end of March and 90 million by June 30.
