MANILA — The second round of the national vaccination drive set next week will focus on individuals who need to complete their COVID-19 jabs, the government said on Wednesday.
"The goal really is by the end of the month, we want to hit 54 million fully vaccinated. Sa second round ng national vaccination days natin, the focus will be on those who need their second dose," Cabinet Secretary Carlo Nograles said in an interview on CNN Philippines. Asked if individuals who would get their COVID-19 jabs from Dec. 15 to 17 would be exempted from work like the first round of Bayanihan, Bakunahan, Nograles replied, "Yes."
The drive's first run from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 vaccinated at least 8 million of the 9 million target. It was extended until Dec. 3, raising the coverage to almost 10 million.
