The country’s supply of COVID-19 monovalent and bivalent vaccines is almost exhausted, the Department of Health said Tuesday, stressing that the DOH would no longer procure additional doses to cater to those who have not yet completed their primary vaccine series or were not vaccinated at all.
More than a thousand additional cases of various Omicron subvariants were detected in the Philippines by late June, according to Department of Health (DOH) data.
The COVID-19 positivity rate in the National Capital Region (NCR) is now back below the 10% mark, decreasing to 9.4% as of Tuesday, data by independent monitoring group OCTA Research showed Thursday.
The COVID-19 cases in the Philippines are still manageable despite the slight increase in the positivity rate, infectious disease expert Dr. Rontgene Solante said on Friday.
