Nearly 40M Filipinos now fully vaxxed vs. Covid-19: Galvez

National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19 main implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. is optimistic that the government would be able to accomplish its aim to fully inoculate at least 54 million Filipinos by the end of this year to achieve population protection against the virus.

Galvez, also the vaccine czar, made this remark during the “Bayanihan, Bakunahan” culminating event at a mall in Mandaluyong City on Thursday, emphasizing that over 40 million Filipinos are now totally protected against the terrible coronavirus infection.

The latest statistics from the national Covid-19 immunization dashboard indicated the Philippines has administered a total of 94,236,990 doses nationwide, with 54,033,022 jabs were given as the first dose, 39,560,598 as of the second dose, and 643,370 were utilized as booster shots.

Galvez attributed the increase of the country’s average daily immunization rate to the last week’s huge vaccination effort.

The vaccine czar said that a total of 10,254,560 doses were provided during the five-day “Bayanihan, Bakunahan” push from Nov. 29 to Dec. 3, with the daily average jab rate of 2,050,912 doses.

“This is the highest recorded since the national vaccination program was handed out in March,” he said, adding that “better Christmas for all Filipinos is now at hand this year.”

The government is planning to organize another round of Bayanihan, Bakunahan push from Dec. 15 to 17, to further scale up the country’s vaccination.

โ€œAt magpapatuloy ang ating pagbabayanihan. Pupuntahan natin ang bawat sulok ng bansa upang maihatid ang mga bakuna at maiturok ito sa braso ng ating mga mahal na kababayan (Our bayanihan shall continue. We shall go to every corner of the country to distribute the immunizations and administer these to our fellow countrymen),โ€ he continued.

Galvez called on the public to engage anew in the second phase of the national immunization day intending to emphasize the administration of second doses.

Walk-ins planning to get their first dose will also be accommodated.
