“Now we’re doing 200,000 jabs a day, and it’s even increasing with the help of the private sector,” Abalos said.

“We’re very confident, at least for one dose, we could really achieve this number.”

According to the Department of Health, population protection is reducing the number of deaths and hospitalized patients through vaccination.
