MANILA, Philippines — Dr. Minguita Padilla, a senatorial aspirant and health advocate, said Thursday that the government should not place under the lowest alert level areas hit by Typhoon Odette and areas where vaccination rates are lagging. 

 

Typhoon Odette (international name Rai) pummelled portions of the country in December, displacing hundreds of thousands of residents in the Visayas. 

 

"You cannot do Alert Level 1 in places that have been hit by [Typhoon] 'Odette', but have not yet been vaccinated. Thirty-five percent vaccination level is not acceptable for Alert Level 1, so we cannot do it for the entire nation," Padilla said in a briefing with reporters on Thursday.
