Short on COVID-19 vaccines, Nueva Ecija misses of targetSEP 2, 2021 7:18 PM PHTPAUL NICHOLAS SORIANO

Local cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in the province but the government is not vaccinating enough, the Department of Health – Nueva Ecija said on Thursday, September 2.

In an exclusive interview with Rappler, Provincial Department of Health (PDOH) spokesperson Dr. Edwin Santiago said that based on the National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC) mandates, the province should administer 26,038 doses of COVID-19 vaccine daily to fully vaccinate the entire population by year end.

However, Santiago said the province can only manage an average of 8,000 to 10,000 doses daily. The highest it administered in a day was 19,000 doses.
