“First of all, there is no law that says vaccines deserve to be mandatory for everyone. So, you actually want to examine it very well if the way forward is to have a law that makes them mandatory,” Vergeire said, speaking in a combination of Filipino and English.
For example, the time came when the government launched an incentive and deterrence program that effectively encouraged Filipinos to get their number one COVID-19 vaccine series.
“Then we can do it again in the coming weeks so that we can load the methods that we have contracted so that we can improve our use of reinforcements,” Vergeire said.
According to the Ministry of Health, on Monday, the total number of people fully vaccinated was 71,055,752. Of these, only 15,342,652 people received booster shots.
