“Some of the people we see are [unvaccinated] because they are waiting for some kind of vaccine that they want. And I told them that you know, it becomes too late,” sabi ni Campomanes.

“When people start waiting for the vaccine they like, then it’s too late, they get the COVID,” dagdag ni Campomanes.

Nilinaw ni Campomanes na epektibo pa rin ang lahat ng brand ng bakuna para maiwasan ang severe o critical COVID-19.

“Hopefully we can convince people that whatever vaccine you have, get it. Because it may give you some disease, but it’s not going to make you go into the severe or critical disease that needs hospitalization,” paglilinaw ng opisyal.

Lumalabas din na ang mga bakunadong pasyenteng may COVID-19 ay hindi na umaabot sa kritikal na estado, ayon kay Campomanes.

“None in the critical and the severe stage.”
