DILG officer-in-charge (OIC) Bernardo Florece Jr. said the efficient roll-out of COVID-19 vaccination has increased the demand for the doses among the medical frontliners.
“This is a good development. A few days since the vaccination program began, we have seen the significant increase in vaccine confidence among health care workers with some hospitals even running out of stocks,” Florece said.
The city governments of Muntinlupa and Taguig have finished the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination of 600 health workers using Sinovac Life Science’s CoronaVac.
