DOH exec: Government likely to miss 5 milliom inoculation goal in NVD Round 3.

LACK of interest for booster shots as well as challenges faced by some regions conducting the large-scale inoculation drive have contributed to the poor public reception for the third National Vaccination Days , according to the National Vaccination Operation Center .

As of Thursday, she said they were only able to inoculate around 2.6 million individuals so far under the latest round of NVD.The health undersecretary attributed the trend to lack of interest among people to get their booster jab, which are prescribed by the government due to the waning efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines after several months.

She said the regions which currently have a low vaccination rate are the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, where there was a recent change in government leadership, as well as in typhoon-hit regions like Bicol, Central and Eastern Visayas, and Soccsksargen. “Based on our assessment, [people] are no longer going to large vaccination sites. One of the adjustments our local health workers did was to bring the vaccination sites closer to the people. Some are now going house-to-house,” Cabotaje said.
