San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora urged the Department of Health to allow other priority groups in the country to receive the second booster shot against Covid-19 as the Philippines detected other variants of the virus that are said to be more transmissible and even have the ability to evade the vaccines’ protective properties.
Seeing the positive effects of the Covid-19 vaccine, the mayor underscored the importance of the vaccine in ensuring the safety of not just his constituents but also the public. “We have gone to the extent of going house-to-house for our booster vaccination. In fact, I have acted as an ambassador for the vaccination program. I believe that as mayor, it is my duty to push for a high vaccination rate. This is something we have achieved. We remain to be number one in terms of number of fully vaccinated individuals in relation to our target population and also in the administration of the first booster,” the mayor said.
