MANILA, Philippines — Over five million COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered in the first two days of the government’s national immunization drive, the Department of Health said Wednesday.

 

According to Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje, a total of 5,000,353 individuals have been so far immunized against COVID-19 in the first two days of the three-day campaign.

 

Broken down, 2.7 million doses were given on November 29 and 2.29 million jabs were administered on November 30, a holiday. Cabotaje said the figure for November 30 is expected to increase as more vaccinators submit data.
