Over 5.5 million Filipinos have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with total doses administered topping 16.4 million, a government task force said on Saturday.

In a statement, the National Task Force Against COVID-19 said 10,866,238 have received their first jab against the disease, while 5,560,029 are fully immunized, accounting for 9.58 percent of the minimum 58 million government target by yearend.

“Despite the inclement weather, our implementing units have remained resilient and are committed to inoculating more Filipinos. We are grateful to all frontliners in the government and the private sector who continue to serve the public despite the many challenges we continue to face,” Galvez was quoted as saying.

The country received 13.5 million COVID-19 shots this month alone from different manufacturers, with at least 6 million more expected to be delivered next week, he said. Philippine authorities are racing against time to protect a huge number of the population against the disease, now that local transmission of the Delta variant has been confirmed.

Ilan ang sinovac at gamaleya? Ilang ang needed ng booster dahil di effective sa delta variant? 5.5M minus the MATALINONG DESISYON ni inutil na bumili ng vaccine ng patron nya? Ilang na lang ang totoong may CHANCE na di masyadong magkasakit pag minalas na mahawaan?

You maybe fully vaccinated but are you really fully immunized against covid 19? I maybe wrong...just asking.
