Gov’t ‘confident’ of attaining goal of 54-M fully-vaxxed Pinoys by yearend
The government is confident that the Philippines will surpass its goal of fully vaccinating 54 million Filipinos by the end of the year.
This optimism is fueled by the success of the first "Bayanihan, Bakunahan" vaccination drive, which inoculated over 9.9 million Filipinos, exceeding its initial target of nine million.
The second round of "Bayanihan Bakunahan" is scheduled for December 15 to 17, focusing on individuals needing their second doses.
To further boost vaccination numbers, the government plans to accommodate walk-in vaccinees and ensure employers exempt employees getting vaccinated from work.
