The World Health Organization (WHO) Philippines emphasized the importance of vaccination as it remains the best defense against Covid-19.
"Getting vaccinated is a safer way for you to develop immunity against #COVID19 than getting infected and sick," the WHO Philippines posted on its official Facebook page.
"Protect yourself and those you love. Choose vaccination. #VaccinesWork," it added.
Senior citizens should get Covid-19 vaccines as they are at risk of developing the severe form of the disease.
"Older adults are at higher risk of severe illness and death from Covid-19," the WHO Philippines said.
"Protect your loved ones from #COVID19 by encouraging them to get vaccinated and helping them register and get to the vaccination site," it added.
Mixing and matching of Covid-19 vaccines is also "safe and effective," the WHO Philippines said.
"If you are offered a second or third dose with a different Covid-19 vaccine than you received for your first and/or second dose, you should go ahead and get vaccinated," it said.
"The protection you get from mixing-and-matching may even be stronger than from just getting one vaccine type," it added.
More than 66 million Filipinos are now fully vaccinated in the Philippines, the Department of Health (DOH) recently reported. The government is aiming to fully vaccinate 90 million individuals by the end of June.
