MANILA, Philippines — Because of the low vaccination coverage in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), a “mini-surge” of Covid-19 infections is expected, according to a health official.

Myrna Cabotaje, chief of the National Immunization Operations Center (NVOC), claimed in a televised public briefing that the Covid-19 vaccination rate in the BARMM is just 32.28 percent.

“They have a major challenge, how to expand coverage from 32.28 [percent], at least to 50 or 60 [percent], while the final objective is 80 (They have a big challenge, how to increase coverage from 32.28 [percent], at least to 50 or 60 [percent], although the ultimate goal is 80),” she said.

On March 30, data from the Department of Health’s National Covid-19 Vaccination Dashboard revealed that BARMM had only given out 1,467,157 doses.

On April 4, the NVOC met with the Department of Health, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization, and the World Bank to establish vaccination measures for the region, according to Cabotaje.

“Nakipagpulong ng NTF chief implementer and vaccine czar Secretary Galvez sa chief minister at iba pang opisyal ng Bangsamoro Region kahapon para makuha ‘yung kanilang commitment at makuha ‘yung kanilang target,” she said.

“With the ministers, BARMM Chief Minister Murad Ibrahim pledged the entire Bangsamoro government approach to the rollout of immunization in the region,” she continued.

In May, the government has scheduled additional special vaccination days in the region.
