THE NATIONAL government said it surpassed the target set for the second phase of its National Vaccine Days (NVD), with close to 7.5 million Filipinos across the country having been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Acting Presidential spokesman Karlo Nograles said a total of 7,497,802 doses were administered during the NVD held from December 15-23. “We thank our kababayans for their cooperation and for the steps they have taken to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. We likewise commend our medical frontliners, vaccinators, and volunteers for their sacrifice, dedication and service to the country," he said.
He said Region 4-A recorded the highest number of cumulative jabs with 1,244,191, followed by Region 3 with 919,822, and Region 6 with 658,805 administered jabs and Region 1 recorded the highest percentage of jabs administered compared to its NVD with 561,858 jabs or 277.84 percent of its 202,224 target jabs to be administered. Region 2 followed, achieving 232.57% of their target, while Region 10 accomplished 173.27% of its NVD target.
Nograles also stressed that with the looming threat of the Omicron variant, “we must continue to be vigilant and alert by observing the minimum public health standards on top of getting vaccinated.”
