Infectious disease expert Dr. Rontgene Solante urged the public to receive the second booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine in order to help maintain the country’s wall of immunity against the coronavirus. ManilaBulletin
Solante made the statement during a public briefing on April 13 following the Department of Health’s decision to allow the administration of second booster shots for the general adult population.
When asked if the monovalent type of Covid-19 vaccine, which is currently being used in the country’s Covid-19 vaccination program, is effective as a second booster shot, Solante answered in the affirmative. To recall, the DOH announced last month that the delivery of bivalent vaccines in the country has been put on hold as concerned government agencies are still discussing some conditions that vaccine makers require.
