President Rodrigo Duterte appealed to Filipinos who got vaccinated against COVID-19 to complete their coronavirus shots.
In his speech on Monday night, Duterte highlighted the importance of completing their vaccination to get protected against COVID-19.
“Ang problema dito, ‘yung nabakunahan na sa first injection, kailangan kayo ng booster, a second injection. Please find time to go back and line there, line up and show your card so that they would know you are receiving the second dose,” Duterte said.

“I want the LGUs to find out why is this happening. Kindly help us ferret out the persons who have not received the second booster until now,” Duterte said.
