Metro Manila Mayors are eyeing mass inoculation against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) once vaccine supplies arrive in June, Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez bared Saturday.
Mass vaccination is part of the goal to achieve herd immunity in areas with a high attack rate such as the National Capital Region (NCR), Olivarez, who is also Metro Manila Council (MMC) chair, said in a DZMM interview.
He earlier assured that local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila are prepared to store COVID-19 vaccines should they come in the following months.
Vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr. has mentioned that the government aims to achieve herd immunity in areas with a high attack rate, specifically in Metro Manila, by October or November.
