Easing the joblessness rate hinges on the government’s doubling its present vaccination rate of 162,513, which is the recent seven-day average, according to Senator Joel Villanueva.
“The most effective employment formula is the more jabs we administer, the more jobs we create,” the chair of the Senate labor committeee said.
“If we can increase our vaccination rate to 325,000 doses a day, then we will be delivering 72 million doses from now until the end of the year,” Villanueva said.
“That 72 million is half of the 140 million doses for 70 million people required to achieve herd immunity,” he noted.
However, the government’s original plan was to vaccinate 70 million Filipinos by year-end with the expected deliveries of at least 140 million doses.
“So yung sinabi po natin na 325,000 daily doses ay may 50 percent discount na doon sa assurance ng pamahalaan na 140 million doses ang parating sa taong ito,” he said.
A 325,000-daily jab rate, he said, “should be the minimum speed. However, it is still ‘underspeeding’.”
He expressed optimism that this can be reached “once private companies get into the act,” adding that “a successful vaccination program is one that is a public-private partnership”
