MANILA, Philippines — The government aims to inoculate six million people against COVID-19 during the third round of its mass vaccination campaign to be held this month, the chief implementer of the administration's pandemic response said.

National Task Force Against COVID-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez, Jr. said the third part of the "Bayanihan, Bakunahan" campaign to be conducted from February 10 and 11 aims to reach persons aged 12 years old and above, especially those in economic zones. It also seeks to administer primary doses to senior citizens and members of the indigent population.
 
"Our intention, Mr. President, is to record two million individuals for primary doses and four million doses for boosters," Galvez told President Duterte during a meeting of the government's pandemic task force last Monday.
