Health Spokesperson Maria Rosario Vergeire on govt’s lowered year-end vaccination target: The goal still would be herd immunity, but because of the global shortage of the vaccines, we need to recalibrate our effort. The 50-60 million is the most feasible right now
RELATED: From the initial goal of inoculating 70% of the population by year-end to achieve herd immunity, a Health official says it will be brought down to 50% to 60% bit.ly/3yGTGTN
DOH on expected vaccine supply in PH this 2021: The estimate would be 148 million doses or even more if all these negotiations will push through and if the supplies in the global arena will be enough
DOH: The recalibration has nothing to do with the prioritization framework. Our main objective for now, the short-term, would be to cover the most vulnerable population which is the A1 to A3
DOH on country's vaccination goal: There is this moving target that we have right now because it's dependent on supply. For now, our target is we reach 500,000 jabs per day, so we'll be able to reach about 50 million by year-end
DOH says hopefully, the PH can vaccinate at least 70% of its population to reach herd immunity by 2022
DOH says experts in the country are saying there is "still no sufficient evidence" to provide recommendations about booster shots, as only initial articles are currently available
DOH on the possible use of vaccines on minors: If we based it on the emergency use authority, the Pfizer vaccines currently in the country can be provided to the 16-17-year-olds (1/2)
DOH: But this is from COVAX so we can only use that for those with comorbidities (2/2)
DOH: But If the FDA will have the manufacturers apply for an amended emergency use authority, then it can also be given to 12- to 15-year-olds. But right now, we are seeing that the burden of disease really is among the older age group
