If the next wave of the government’s simultaneous vaccine drive against the coronavirus illness 2019 (Covid-19) is as effective as the first, Malacanang is sure that the country will meet its goal of fully vaccinating 54 million Filipinos by the end of the year.

Acting Presidential Spokesperson and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said the second round of “Bayanihan, Bakunahan,” which would take place from December 15 to 17, is the country’s final “push” toward achieving its goal.

From November 29 to December 3, the first Bayanihan, Bakunahan event distributed roughly 10.2 million Covid-19 vaccination pills around the country.

“I believe that by December 31, 2021, we will have surpassed the 54 million fully vaccinated, especially if we get the same or even more support for the second round of ng Bayanihan, Bakunahan,” he said in an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Source on Wednesday.

According to Nograles, the national government and local governments are presently working together to fine-tune the second simultaneous immunization drive, which will include allowing walk-ins.

“Then, based on our experience with the first round of national immunization days, we aim to build a system for walk-ins,” he continued.

He promised that the corporate sector would play a significant part in the three-day immunization drive.

“Marami sa mga (Many of our) private sector partners natin have provided vaccination sites, volunteers, and even in communication, information dissemination, and simply encouraging their workers and employees to get vaccinated, really mean big help in pushing these more and more Filipinos to get vaccinated,” she says. “We expect for the same cooperation in terms of these vaccine facilities, because the private sector has the resources and places required,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nograles encouraged businesses to excuse employees who choose to get vaccinated during national vaccination days or afterward.

“Anyone who needs to get vaccinated and is scheduled to get vaccinated should be allowed,” he added, adding that employers should not mark them absent if they need to get vaccinated.

Nograles had previously urged local governments to consider increasing their house-to-house immunization efforts for senior adults and those with comorbidities in order to increase vaccination rates.

“Several or more LGUs ay gumagawa ng mga house-to-house,” said the source. If all or most LGUs undertake house-to-house vaccinations, especially for senior folks and those with comorbidities, mas maganda po iyan, mas maigi po (Several or many LGUs conduct house-to-house vaccinations.) It would be much better if all LGUs had the same effort, especially for senior persons and those with comorbidities),” he remarked in an earlier interview.

President Rodrigo Duterte voiced optimism on Monday that the second Bayanihan, Bakunahan campaign would be as effective as the first.

“From December 15 to 17, we will hold a second round of Bayanihan, Bakunahan.” “I’m hoping for the same success,” he continued.
