MANDALUYONG CITY -- With the unwavering commitment to support the government response in helping curb the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has now administered 807,976 doses, while fully vaccinating 297 individuals in their 26 Bakuna Centers, 17 Bakuna Buses, and Bakuna Teams nationwide as of December 23, 2021.

"Kahit marami hamon ngayon ang ating bansa, ang Red Cross ay patuloy na nagpapadala ng mga bakuna sa mga tao, at palagi naming tinitiyak ang kaligtasan at pagiging epektibo ng mga bakuna dahil. Tulong-tulong tayong upang mapigilan na ang pandemya," said Chairman and CEO Senator Richard "Dick" Gordon.

Additionally, last December 22, 2021, as the Department of Health implemented a new policy that shortens the gap between the COVID-19 booster shot, PRC encourages everyone to get their booster shot as soon as they can. Now, adults can get their booster shot three months after their last dose or two months for those who got the one-dose Janssen vaccine.

"The best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the people around you is by getting vaccinated," urged Gordon. (Philippine Red Cross)
