Data from the Department of Education Western Visayas (DepEd-6) revealed that as of June 27 this year, 404,645 of the region’s 2,102,865 documented students had received their first dosage of the vaccine, and 376,161 of them had received the full course of vaccination.

DOH WV Center for Health Development (DOH-6) OIC Assistant Regional Director Dr. Sophia Pulmones stated on Wednesday that the department continues to support vaccination, particularly for children between the ages of 5 and 11, in order to enhance the age group’s immunization coverage.

The booster shot, according to 15-year-old incoming 10th grader Franchess Dianne Artillero, gives them additional protection.

She continued, “Hopefully they can already decide to get immunized since it is also for their own health and it can assist hasten the development of the country because we can all go out.”
