Despite having achieved 70 percent herd immunity, the city government of Davao will continue its vaccination drive until it reaches 100 percent herd immunity according to Dr. Michelle Schlosser, spokesperson of the Davao City Covid-19 Task Force.
“Kahit na ma-achieve nato ang herd immunity which is 70 percent of the total population, dili nato i-stop ang pagbakuna sa tanan, even if the minimum goal nato is 70 percent, ang tumong gyud nato as much as 100 percent gyud. Kahit na -achieve na nato ang 70 percent na herd immunity, we would still push up to 100 percent vaccination,” she said.
