Health Secretary Francisco Duque III has approved the Health Technology Assessment Council’s recommendation to administer the first Pfizer COVID-19 booster shots for children ages 12 to 17.please for the issuance of implementing guidelines hopefully within the day,” Duque said Tuesday.
Even then, Metro Manila might record around 1,000 new COVID-19 cases daily by the end of the month or early July, the independent monitoring group added. “The ages 12 to 17 are quite considered adults, so the boosters might not be different. Although, I have seen a part of the unreleased guidelines that 0.3 mL will be given to them for Pfizer. Usually, I think that’s 0.5 mL, so maybe half a dose will be administered. I’m not too sure about that,” she said.
Currently, the second booster shot could only be given only to frontline healthcare workers, senior citizens, and immunocompromised individuals, the DOH said. Reproduction rate refers to the number of people infected by one case. A reproduction number that is below 1 indicates the transmission of the virus is slowing down.
