The Philippine Heart Association on Wednesday called on all persons diagnosed with cardiovascular disease to get COVID-19 vaccine booster shots, on top of the primary vaccine series.
“Ang heart disease at saka COVID-19 ‘pag pinagsama, it’s a perfect storm. Kaya po ang sinasabi namin sa aming pasyente sa Heart Center, magtago muna please para maligtas ang buhay at para hindi rin ma-exhaust ang healthcare workers at the healthcare system,” Vilela said. He also encouraged those who have heart disease not to deny themselves of freedom from the COVID-19 by getting the primary vaccine series and booster shot.
