Tirso Cruz III received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Actor Tirso Cruz III recently took to social media as he received his first dose of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.
Many prominent Filipino personalities had shown their support for the national government’s COVID-19 vaccination program and its aim to curb the spread of COVID-19 nationwide as the Philippines continued to battle the coronavirus pandemic that showed no sign of abating after a year.
Health experts believed that the COVID-19 vaccine — along with practicing the minimum health standards such as wearing face masks, washing hands, and social distancing — was the only protection against the coronavirus disease.
However, because of the limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses in the Philippines, vaccine prioritization was being implemented in the country until “herd immunity” was achieved.
The national government was also expecting the arrival of more COVID-19 vaccines in the Philippines as vaccine manufacturers ramped up their production in order to supply the world, especially countries that needed it most.
Some Filipino personalities had already received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose in order to encourage the public to get vaccinated.
Tirso Cruz III was one of them.
