The National Vaccinations Operation Center (NVOC) is eyeing to provide the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccines or second booster shots to select groups by April.
According to NVOC Chairperson and Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje, the inoculation of the fourth dose is targeted by the last week of April, focusing on frontliners, senior citizens, and the immunocompromised.
“Humihina na ang immunity lalong lalo na sa edad nila, humihina ang proteksyon, so kailangang palakasin ito sa pamamagitan ng additional shot,” she added. Philippine College of Chest Physicians President Dr. Imelda Mateo said the recommended interval between the first and the second booster shot is between one to three months, depending on the assessment of the doctor.
