PRESIDENTIAL Adviser for Entrepreneurship Jose Maria “Joey” Concepcion 3rdPRESIDENTIAL Adviser for Entrepreneurship Jose Maria "Joey" Concepcion 3rd on Saturday suggested that regions with high vaccination rate should require Covid-19 booster cards as an added precaution against Covid-19. "The booster card requirement makes sense in the NCR because they received their primary doses ahead of the rest of the Philippines. However, they are also at higher risk from waning immunity and must be encouraged to get their booster shots right away," he said. A total of 7.57 million booster doses have been administered across the country. The government's goal is to administer 72.16 million booster doses, including those for minors ages 12 to 17, by the end of the second quarter of 2022.
