‘Bayanihan’ 3 to administer 5M vaccine doses
The Philippine government is set to conduct its third nationwide vaccination drive, "Bayanihan Bakunahan," on February 10 and 11, aiming to administer vaccines to 5 million individuals.
This initiative is crucial as 28 million Filipinos are due for their booster shots.
To facilitate the vaccination efforts, additional sites will be established in ecozones, industrial parks, and universities.
The previous nationwide vaccination drives saw nearly 10 million Filipinos vaccinated in the first wave, though the second wave was impacted by Typhoon Odette.
Separately, the vaccination for children aged 5 to 11 years old will commence with a pilot on February 7, followed by a national rollout on February 14.
