The Department of Health said on Monday that the COVID-19 surge in the Philippines was not necessarily connected to the country’s vaccination rate given that countries with high vaccine coverage also experienced a similar surge.
“Unang-una, ‘yung mga bansang mataas ‘yung vaccine coverage, marami sa kanila sumipia din ‘yung kaso,” Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said at the Laging Handa briefing. “Sila nga mismo ang mga manufacturer ng mga bakunang ito and despite that, ang taas ng kanilang vaccine coverage… pero kita mo naman sobrang taas pa rin ang kanilang mga kaso, sumisipa pa rin,” he said.The DOH previously said that vaccinated individuals may still get infected with COVID-19. Vaccines, however, protect from severe infection as well as death.
No justice to people who refuse vaccine and forbidden civil rights.
