Philippines still 12 million short of COVID-19 vaccination year-end goal —DOH
As of December 15, 2021, a total of 95,982,996 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the Philippines.
The government is 12 million short of its target to fully vaccinate 54 million Filipinos by the end of the year, with 42 million having received their second dose as of December 15.
The second round of the national vaccination event aims to administer seven million COVID-19 vaccine doses, although some areas have postponed the drive due to Typhoon Odette.
Metro Manila has already achieved its target for fully vaccinated individuals and is now focusing on administering booster shots.
Booster shots are allowed six months after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or three months after the single-dose Janssen vaccine.
