Almost 50 million Filipinos have been properly immunized.

As of Monday, the Philippines had given out 108,853,491 coronavirus vaccination doses, including second shots for 49,853,264 Filipinos and 1,847,926 booster or extra doses.

As of the end of 2021, the country had received 210,633,110 vaccine doses, both purchased and donated.

Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., the lead implementer of the National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19, warned that the country is “not yet out of the woods” since instances are on the rise once more.

He emphasized the importance of immunizing as many Filipinos as possible, particularly the elderly and those with comorbidities.

“Vaccine availability is no longer an issue, as we now have enough doses to fully inoculate more than 100 million Filipinos, as we previously stated. The bigger problem today is figuring out how to get these Covid-19 vaccines into the hands of our citizens as quickly as possible “In his year-end statement, Galvez remarked.

According to Galvez, the beginning of the year provides another opportunity to encourage those who have not been vaccinated to get vaccinated and those who are eligible to obtain booster injections.

Local governments must also continue to improve their prevent-detect-isolate-treat-reintegrate (PDITR) methods and, if required, implement granular lockdowns.

“We also need to keep upgrading our Covid-19 health-care facilities across the country by adding more beds, oxygen tanks, and Covid-19 medicines,” he continued.

Galvez stated that the NTF is committed to reaching its goal of 77 million fully immunized Filipinos by the first quarter of this year.

“As the Duterte Administration enters its final year, the National Task Force on Covid-19 is dedicated to carrying out its mandate of preserving the Filipino people’s health while reviving our nation’s economy,” he said.
