Ito ang sinabi ni National Task Force (NTF) Deputy Chief Implementer Vince Dizon isang pulong balitaan nitong Lunes, Agosto 9.
“That’s our target, it’s morethan the 700,000. Last week, we administered 710,000 COVID-19 shots, our new daily high and I urge everyone to cooperate and help us reach this target,” sabi nito.
“This is really a race against variants, but again our biggest challenge is still supply. This is a challenge not only in the Philippines but in the whole world. Especially the countries that do not manufacture their own vaccines,” dagdag pa ni Dizon.
