Go welcomes arrival of over 100M vaccine doses since February

Senator Bong Go praised the government’s Covid-19 pandemic response, noting that the country’s vaccine supply has now reached more than 100 million doses since the first shipment of vaccines arrived in February this year.

“Welcome development na umabot na sa higit 100 million doses ng Covid-19 vaccines ang meron tayo sa bansa. Resulta po ito ng mga pagsisikap ng ating gobyerno upang mabakunahan ang lahat ng mga Pilipino at maprotektahan tayo laban sa Covid-19,” the chair of the Senate health committee said.

“Sa kabila nito, hinihikayat ko ang lahat ng mga Pilipino na magpabakuna na lalo na’t bukas na ang programa sa general population. Nasa datos na kapag bakunado ka, mas maiiwasan ang severe na kaso ng Covid-19,” he added.

As of October 30, the country has received a total of 104,113,480 vaccines. A total of 59,134,236 vaccines have been administered. Filipinos who have received their first dose now tally at 31,862,067 while 27,272,169 have been fully vaccinated.

“Bumababa na ngayon ang bilang ng mga kaso sa Maynila pero ‘huwag pa rin tayo maging kumpiyansa. Siguraduhin natin na makarating ang bakuna sa mga pinaka nangangailangan upang walang maiwan sa ating muling pagbangon,” Go said.

The country is expecting to receive around 50 million more doses before the year ends. This includes 10 million Covid-19 shots from the COVAX Facility.

“Kapag mabakunahan na ang lahat ng eligible at maabot na natin ang herd immunity, tuluyan na ring bababa ang mga kaso ng nagkakasakit at mas mabilis tayong makakabalik sa normal na pamumuhay,” Go said.
