More than 27 million people in the Philippines have been fully vaccinated against COVID19, the government said on Tuesday, eight months since the inoculation program kicked off in the country.

The number represents around 35 percent of the government's target of up to 77.1 million people for complete vaccination to be able to achieve herd immunity against the disease.

Authorities have so far administered some 59.3 million COVID-19 shots, including around 31.9 million first jabs, all over the country, Cabotaje said in a televised public briefing. "Hopefully, November, December, makakamit na natin iyong napakataas, almost 100 percent ng ating target ay maa-achieve dito sa NCR," said Cabotaje, who chairs the National Vaccination Operations Center.

Cabotaje previously said that only at least 50 percent of the country's 110 million people may be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of the year, which is the lower threshold of the government's target. Authorities eye vaccinating at least 1 million people a day. In the last several days, around 500,000 jabs were given daily, but ths dropped to around 100,000 to 200,000 around the All Saints' Day holiday on Nov. 1 and the day prior, Cabotaje said.
