MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines is expanding eligibility for COVID-19 boosters to all adults who have received a single-dose vaccine at least three months ago and those who have received a two-dose vaccine at least six months ago.

 

The Department of Health announced Thursday that the government will be offering another COVID-19 shot to all fully-vaccinated adults aged 18 years old and above beginning December 3.

 

The decision to offer booster doses to all eligible adults comes on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration’s approval last Monday of giving another coronavirus jab to those 18 and above.
