“Out of our highly urbanized cities, umaabot po ng 23 siyudad ang umabot na po ng 70 percent and up na fully vaccinated… So, ibig sabihin po almost sa target population ay nakamit na ang herd immunity sa target population,” said Año during the President Rodrigo Duterte’s Talk to the People aired on Tuesday.

The same database stated that the city’s vaccination coverage rate is at 64.32 percent. “Kay naa namay schedule sa atoa , by the end of the year, naay posibilidad makuha nato ang herd immunity,” said Dr. Jeffrey Ibones, Cebu City Health Officer.
