PASIG CITY — In response to the continued surge in COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Region (NCR), the government is recalibrating its immunization program wherein it will focus limited vaccine supplies in areas with high infection rates such as the NCR and nearby provinces.
In an online press briefing on Tuesday, April 6, Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr, Chief Implementer of the National Task Force (NTF) against COVID-19 and Vaccine Czar said that building herd immunity in high-risk areas such as Metro Manila could address the spike in local transmissions.
According to Galvez, this approach was proposed by medical experts during recent consultations spearheaded by the Task Force.
He pointed out that inoculating at least five million individuals in Metro Manila will jumpstart the process of achieving herd immunity and will enable the government to offset slippages in vaccine deliveries.
“Sa ngayon, nakikita natin na ‘yung target na herd immunity of 70 million, with slippage of [vaccine] production, most probably baka bumaba tayo ng 50% [entire PH population],” he said.
“Mas maganda sa focus areas tayo para just in case magkaroon tayo ng slippage [vaccine delivery], kailangan ‘yung mostly affected areas, economic centers, at vulnerable areas ‘yung tirahin natin,” Galvez added.
