MANILA – Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire had strong words for those who have illegally obtained COVID-19 booster shots while millions of Filipinos remain unvaccinated against the disease.
Vergeire stressed that the government will buy COVID-19 booster shots once evidence shows that they are needed. “Gusto natin umabot naman titingnan natin na makaka-procure tayo ng second generation, para hindi itong old vaccines ang ibibigay natin as booster na ganoon din ang efficacy niya is affected also by this Delta variant.”Vergeire noted that some Filipinos have been infected with COVID-19 even after getting vaccinated. But she notes that severe and critical cases are rare among those who already had two COVID jabs.
“Mataas po ang pagbabakuna sa NCR at nakikita natin unang-una, yung projected na 83,000 active cases projected for NCR by the end of August 30, hindi po natin narating yan. We’re just 41,000 cases here in NCR currently active cases.”
Mga kababayan wag naman sana tayo maging swapang at apathetic sa kapwa natin. Kung fully vaccinated na kayo hayaan naman natin na mabakuhanan yung iba nating kababayan wag puro sarili isipin.
