The vaccination of the senior citizens and those who have co-morbidities have also began. Previously, the national government encouraged the senior citizens to be vaccinated as only a few came to the facilities or reached out to the health authorities to be vaccinated.
This month, the national government targeted the major vaccination of the essential workers and the poor Filipinos. However, undeniably, there are still a lot of people who are hesitant in getting their jabs.

These two (2) nations were hit hard by coronavirus. According to him, he will order the barangay captains to have a tally of the people who refuse to be vaccinated.
