Long way to go: Months after rollout, PH reaches 1M full vaccinations
As of May 25, 2021, the Philippines has fully vaccinated over one million individuals, representing nearly 1% of the country's population.
A total of 3,466,314 people have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccination program, launched on March 1, has been hindered by delays in paperwork, vaccine shipments, and uncertain supplies.
Despite reaching this milestone, the Philippines remains second to last in Southeast Asia for the percentage of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose.
The country has administered approximately 4.1 vaccine doses per 100 people.
Achieving the goal of vaccinating 70 million Filipinos within the year, crucial for herd immunity, depends heavily on the timely delivery of expected vaccine volumes.
