Gov't targets 6M individuals for 3rd phase of national vaccination days
The national government aims to inoculate up to 6 million people during the third "Bayanihan, Bakunahan" campaign on February 10-11.
The goal is to administer primary doses to 2 million individuals and booster doses to 4 million.
Vaccination czar Carlito Galvez Jr. emphasized the importance of boosters due to the waning effect of vaccines over time.
To achieve this, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año announced that walk-ins are allowed, and uniformed personnel will assist in transporting vaccines and people.
Año stated, "Pumunta ka lamang sa pinakamalapit na vaccination site at ikaw ay babakunahan o bibigyan ng booster (shot)."
The overall target for February remains to vaccinate about 25 million people, including those receiving booster shots.
While the nation has achieved its goal of 70% population protection, it has not yet reached the 90% target.
