Filipinos are being recommended to obtain booster shots for Covid-19.

Despite the drop in Covid-19 cases, Malacanang on Tuesday urged eligible Filipinos to seek coronavirus illness (Covid-19) booster doses.

Acting Presidential Spokesperson Karlo Nograles said in a Palace briefing that as of February 20, about 33.5 million people are eligible for an additional dosage of the approved Covid-19 vaccinations.

Only 9.7 million people have had their booster doses, according to Nograles, who advises the remaining 23 million to get extra Covid-19 vaccines to protect themselves from the virus.

“Iniisip siguro ng karamihan: Bakit kailangan nito? Bumababa naman na ang kaso ngย Covid-19ย sa bansa. (Maybe many think why need booster shots when Covid-19 cases in the country are declining). There is very little risk of getting Covid today,” Nograles said.

“The ganitong pananaw is misguided. Ang dagdag na proteksiyon natin ay kailan natin. (This observation is incorrect.) Ika nga nga nga nga nga nga nga nga We still require greater security. It is better to be safe than sorry, as they say “Added he.

According to him, the government’s Covid-19 vaccines are guaranteed to be of excellent quality, safe, and effective.

“Ito ay ating panlaban, kalaban hindi. Pambangon ng kabuhayan, pansagip ng buhay. (This is for our protection, not for the adversary.) To aid in the recovery process, people are being saved. Boost your immunity), “he stated

Serious Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs) are extremely rare, according to Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, who said the current rate is less than 0.00003 as of Feb. 19, 2022. Not all AEFIs, according to Vergeire, are caused by vaccinations.

In total, 134,332,014 doses of Covid-19 have been provided in the Philippines, with 62,652,101 adult Filipinos now completely immunized, including those who received the single-dose Janssen and Sputnik Light vaccines.

Meanwhile, as of Monday, 9,781,090 eligible people have received booster shots or additional dosages.
