MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) is looking at whether booster doses should be included in the country’s core vaccine series.

Once approved, Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said Filipinos would need to get a booster shot to be fully immunized, which is frequently required before a person can travel or report to work.

“We recognize the importance of boosters,” she said in a Laging Handa briefing on Saturday. “Kasalukuyang tayong nire-review kung pwede nang i-include ang booster or third dose as part of primary series (we are currently reviewing proposals if we can include the booster or third dose as part of primary series).”

“We might stimulate the need for a booster dose, so baka kailangan ng booster card,” she continued.

In the meantime, Cabotaje said the DOH would devise strategies to urge more Filipinos to receive their third doses.

“Tingnan natin kung ano ang puwede pa nating isagawa para makumbinsi ang ating mga mamamayanan magkaroon ng booster doses (Tingnan natin kung ano ang puwede pa nating isagawa para makumbinsi ang ating mga mamamayanan magkaroon ng booster doses),” she said.

The announcement follows Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion’s proposal to require a booster card to ensure that Filipinos receive their third dosage of coronavirus vaccine.

Concepcion stated that because of the increased movement, particularly during the campaign period, Filipinos will require greater protection against the coronavirus sickness in 2019.
