The government is looking at including booster dose as a requirement for an individual to be considered as fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the Department of Health (DOH) said Thursday.

according to Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire, saying that it is inappropriate to do so, considering that institutions like Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not redefine their meaning of “fully vaccinated.”

However, she emphasized that there should be a detailed enforcement of the vaccine cards to see how late the vaccination of a person is, or if the vaccine cards they present in certain establishments really belong to them.
