Other cities to be added for booster shots

ASIDE from the National Capital Region (NCR), other big cities will be included in the list of priority areas wherein administration of booster shots will be implemented.

According to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Director General Eric Domingo, included in the priority areas to be given booster shots are Cebu City, Davao City and other local government units (LGUs) in Iloilo.

Domingo explained that what needs to be given in areas with low vaccination coverage are the primary doses.

What needs to be achieved is population protection of other areas, which may be difficult if a big part of the community have yet to receive even if just one dose.

Right now, the administration of booster shots is being ramped up for healthcare workers, and to follow are senior citizens and those with comorbidities.
