The Department of Health once again urged eligible Filipinos to get their Covid-19 vaccine booster shots to maintain a high level of protection against the disease’s severe form.
“Immunity does not last forever, and for that reason, we must all get a booster,” the state health agency said in an advisory. The DOH said that based on data, “six out of ten Covid-19 patients seen at the hospital are not fully vaccinated.“ Severe and critical symptoms are 1.48 times “more likely to happen” among people who are not vaccinated at all as compared to those who have completed the primary vaccine series, the DOH said.
