Philippes eyes 'barangay-to-barangay' COVID19 vaccination
MANILA — Government will roll out "barangay-to-barangay" and "house-to-house" COVID-19 vaccinations in a bid to reach millions who have yet to get a single coronavirus jab, an official said.
"We will vaccinate the unvaccinated by having ‘yung tinatawag nating barangay-to-barangay at saka ‘yung house-to-house," said Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., who leads the immunization effort. Government aims to complete 54 million COVID-19 vaccinations before the year ends, and eventually inoculate the whole population by 2022.
