MANILA, Philippines — A health official said Thursday that putting an expiration date on vaccination cards would be a “smart tactic” for encouraging people who have been completely vaccinated to get their booster doses.

Myrna Cabotaje, the director of the National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC), said the step would necessitate “stricter checking” of vaccination cards, which contain information about the shots given and when they were given.

“Yung ating mga nagche-check, kasi basta pinakita mo ‘yung vaccine card, hindi naman tinitignan kung sa iyo, hindi naman tinitignan kung (The checkers do not scrutinize if the vaccine card is yours or) how late your vaccination was,” she stated on the radio.

To increase booster shot administration, Cabotaje stated the Department of Health is looking into the potential of making a booster dosage a requirement to be declared “completely vaccinated” against Covid-19.

The word “completely vaccinated” currently refers to those who have finished their primary round of Covid-19 vaccinations, as defined by the World Health Organization.

“The studies are being considered; ano pa ‘yung pwede nating gawin para ma-encourage ‘yung ating mga mamamayang magpa-booster, especially ‘yung ating mga vulnerable sector ng ating community,” she added.

As of March 29, the country had received 142,006,755 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.

A total of 71,039,547 people have received at least one dose, with 65,804,988 people receiving the entire vaccine.

The total number of those who have been properly vaccinated and have received their booster doses is now 11,954,585.
