According to data from the government, more than 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been injected in the Philippines.
More than 2.5 million individuals have been fully vaccinated or received 2 doses, while more than 7.5 million have been injected with the first dose.
According to the National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19, vaccination against COVID-19 is accelerating in the Philippines, now averaging 250,000 doses per day.
If it took 3 months before the first 5 million doses were given, the second 5 million were injected even before the end of the current month. Vaccination against COVID-19 began on March 1 in the Philippines.
According to the NTF, as long as all the COVID-19 vaccine doses purchased by the government arrive in the country this year, they are confident that up to 70 million individuals can be vaccinated before the end of 2021 to achieve herd immunity.
The government is said to be targeting 10 million COVID-19 vaccine doses in July.
Meanwhile, Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, a member of OCTA, said he is confident that herd immunity will be achieved with NCR Plus 8 even though only 2.25 million or 3.87% of the population were fully vaccinated on June 22. It was also learned that 8.9 million doses of the vaccine were distributed by the government.
