On Tuesday, the Department of Health (DOH) advised local governments to follow the rules when administering the second coronavirus disease 2019 booster shot (Covid-19).

Officer in Charge of DOH There is currently no proof, according to Maria Rosario Vergeire, that giving the general public a second booster would raise their immunity to respiratory illnesses.

Vergeire said that those who recently received their fourth vaccination might wait a while before receiving the bivalent vaccine booster.

According to the official, efforts are being made to obtain the Omicron-adapted vaccines, which are designed to defend against Covid-19 more effectively because they combine elements of the original viral strain and the Omicron variation.

In a news conference, she stated, “Remember that we are already obtaining the bivalent vaccine. Tayo po ay bumibili na ngayon nitong bivalent vaccine.”

She continued, “Once these arrive and you’ve already administered the second booster to your constituents at this time, they may not be eligible for the bivalent as soon because we will count months before we could administer it.” “Once these arrive and you’ve already administered the second booster to your constituents at this time,” she said.

She emphasized that the rules in place right now are “based on science and evidence.”

She added that the DOH is still consulting with experts so that it can begin a new rollout as soon as sufficient data has been acquired to support the claim that a fourth injection will increase public safety.

“Procedures that are based on the nation’s laws are required of us. We again go through the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and HTA (Health Technology Assessment Council) when we change a recommendation or indication for a particular vaccine “She remarked.

Currently, only people with comorbidities between the ages of 18 and 49 and adults 50 and older are qualified for a second booster shot or fourth dosage of the Covid-19 vaccination.

“Bakunahang Bayan”

On the other side, Vergeire claimed that the vaccination deployment is still challenged by low vaccine uptake, which results in the expiration of millions of shots.

The uptake of vaccines increased in the latter half of 2021 but began to decline in the first quarter of this year, according to her.

“The number of our bakuna has not been maitago ng mas matagal. The shelf life of almost all of our products is shorter than one year (We cannot store them for a long time… The shelf life of almost all of our vaccines is under a year), “She spoke.
The DOH, on the other hand, keeps stepping up the deployment of its vaccines and boosters for the eligible population.

The organization began a three-day nationwide immunization campaign on December 5 in an effort to better protect children.

Chairperson of the Vaccine Expert Panel Nina Gloriani recommended the eligible public acquire the vaccine as soon as possible given the appearance of new variations in a Laging Handa briefing.
