In his weekly address on Monday, President Duterte was calling on those who had received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine to make the effort to receive the second dose.

Please find time to go back and line up and show your card so that they would know you are receiving the second dose… Ang protection niyo is not complete without the booster. Matatapos rin ito, especially with your cooperation, matatapos ito mas madali,” President Duterte said.

Earlier, experts said that a missed dose of COVID-19 vaccine shouldn’t stop people from completing their shots.

Aside from this, President Duterte called on local authorities to help government seek out those who have missed their deadlines and to convince them to get their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

However, President Duterte reminded the public that the COVID-19 vaccine would be most effective if they also followed minimum public health standards – including the wearing of masks, washing of hands, and observing physical distancing.

Itong COVID na ito is a very toxic thing and it can contaminate you again. There is no guarantee — though it would give you a measure of protection, it does not guarantee that you will not get COVID again.,” President Duterte said.
