Duterte adviser wants 'bakuna bubble' tested in NCR areas with high vaccination rates
Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion proposed the 'Bakuna Bubble' concept, suggesting that LGUs in Metro Manila with high vaccination rates could serve as pilot areas to test its viability.
Concepcion believes that implementing the Bakuna Bubble in these LGUs can boost overall vaccination rates and assess the model's potential for safely reopening the economy.
The Bakuna Bubble concept, developed with input from the private sector, aims to create micro-herd immunity within closed groups like households and workplaces.
Under this scheme, unvaccinated individuals would need to present a negative antigen or RT-PCR test result to gain entry into high-risk establishments such as restaurants, salons, and gyms.
