NCR starts minors and general pop jabs Friday
Metro Manila will start vaccinating minors aged 12 to 17 and the general population against COVID-19 starting Friday.
Parañque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez said local government units in Metro Manila have already vaccinated almost 100% of their target population.
President Rodrigo Duterte was only joking when he suggested vaccinating people while they sleep, according to his spokesperson Harry Roque.
Duterte expressed confidence that at least 50% of the country's population will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Christmas.
