“[We] would like to remind the public that the general population is not yet eligible for booster vaccination,” the DOH said in a statement on Thursday, Nov. 18.

Coronavirus vaccines have been prepared for distribution at a vaccination site in Manila on May 18, 2021.

“The decision to offer booster doses to healthcare workers is still risk-based and its rollout to other priority groups will be implemented on a phased approach,” it said. “More than administering booster doses, it is still important to ensure that the eligible individuals, especially the senior citizens, those with comorbidities, and the indigent population, will receive their primary doses,” the DOH said.
