MANILA, Philippines — A health official said Friday that the government will organize targeted national immunization days in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and Cebu province next week to increase the country’s inoculation coverage.

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire stated in a Palace briefing that the immunization drive in Cebu will take place from March 29 to 31, and in BARMM from March 30 to April 1.

“Abangan po ng ating mga kababayan sa iyan, pupunta po ang ating deployed teams para matulungan ang areas na ito upang tumaas ang pagbabakuna,” she said.

Apart from vaccination, Vergeire stated that booster doses would keep people from developing severe Covid-19 or dying from the disease, as more transmissible strains of Sars-CoV-2, such as Omicron, still exist.

She claims that 44 million Filipinos are eligible for booster shots, but only 12 million have had them so far.

Vergeire stated the Department of Health (DOH) is reviewing the redefinition of the word “completely vaccinated individuals” with the country’s health specialists.

“Our specialists feel the term appears to be really unsuitable,” she remarked.

“Practices na ginagawa sa ibang bansa naghanap tayo. Ang CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] po’di nila ni-redefine ang kanilang fully vaccinated definition, dun po sa cards nila inilalagay din po’updated’ o’up-to-date’ ang kanilang bakuna. (We looked into similar methods in other countries.) The CDC did not change their definition of completely vaccinated; instead, they added the words ‘updated’ or ‘up-to-date’ to their vaccination cards) “she stated
