Answer:
As of 28 June 2021, 28.3% of the recorded 8.2 million senior citizens – the A2 priority group – have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Senior citizens are at highest risk of deaths due to COVID-19. In the Philippines, 7 out of 10 deaths are in patients 60 years old and above.
“Vaccines are an essential addition to our protective measures against COVID-19, especially with the risk of fast-spreading variants. We need to protect our senior citizens the soonest and with the highest coverage,” said Dr Rabindra Abeyasinghe, WHO Representative to the Philippines.
