Dr. Norberto Francisco of Lung Center of the Philippines says hospital employees who got inoculated today with the COVID-19 vaccine are doing well so far.
Dr. Francisco says the hospital employees will get their next dose of vaccine after three weeks.
Dr. Francisco says that he is hoping that the vaccine confidence among Filipinos will improve citing the information campaign being done.
Dr. Francisco says they have "little data" so far on the new COVID-19 variant that originated from South Africa.
Dr. Francisco: We have to address the main COVID-19 variant which is causing deaths.
Dr. Francisco agrees that it is better to get inoculated with the vaccine that is already available.
.@LouiseMabulo on becoming one of two Filipinos in National Geographic's 2020 Young Explorers: Being part of this means I can represent Filipino women and farmers in the world platform.
.@LouiseMabulo: I want to do something that will help equip farmers in our area. I started The Cacao Project after a typhoon battered our town, which helped many farmers to be sustainable and adept in climate change.
.@LouiseMabulo on changing youth's mindset that farming is a profitable venture: We need to change school curriculum and policy level which look at agriculture as low-paying jobs. There needs to be a shift to promote food security.
.@LouiseMabulo: Hopefully after the pandemic, people will appreciate more farming.
