MANILA - Herd immunity against COVID-19 is now "a very long-term goal" after the COVID-19 Delta variant affected the efficacy of vaccines, the Department of Health said Friday.
"Herd immunity has been affected... That is really a very long-term goal among all the countries in the world," she said.The national government earlier said the Philippines might attain herd immunity against COVID-19 this year if the country is on track to fully vaccinate 70 percent of the adult population.
"Ang sinasabi sa atin ng mga eksperto, hindi na lang 70 percent ng herd immunity ang kailangan natin. Kailangan natin ng mas mataas it can be 80 or 90 percent dahil bumababa ang efficacy ng bakuna," Vergeire said.
