There are close to 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide injected, according to Department of Health (DOH) data.
According to the DOH, 9.9 million doses have been injected as of Saturday.
More than 7.4 million people have received their first dose, while almost 2.5 million have been fully vaccinated or have already had 2 doses.
“[Sa] A1 almost 100 percent na ang nabakunahan at 1.6 million, ang masterlist natin, 1.7 million. A2 nabakunahan na ng 2.3 million, malayo pa sa masterlist na 8 million… kaya mayroon tayong tutok A2 strategy dahil sila ang most vulnerable population aside from A3,” said Dr. Napoleon Arevalo, director of the DOH field implementation and coordination team in Luzon.
