Galvez said the government has 90 million vaccine doses in stock and there were still around 3 million senior citizens and 3 million children aged 5 to 17 who remain unvaccinated.
“So that’s what we’re focusing on now. We’re collaborating with different agencies and the private sector to increase our vaccination program and expand our Alert Level 1 and our face-to-face schooling,” said Galvez.
