According to the most recent figures from the National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19, a total of 5,165,927 people are waiting for their second dosage, while 9,901,584 people aged 12 to 17 and 2,478,590 people aged 5 to 11 have received at least one dose.

According to Galvez, the government is now stepping up efforts to offer booster shots to at least 40 million people, speed up the delivery of second doses to 11.5 million children, and properly vaccinate the remaining 20% of 1.8 million senior individuals.

He reiterated that there is sufficient vaccine supply for all sectors.
