Only 9% of vaccinated people have missed the second dose of their Covid-19 shot, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr said following an earlier statement by a doctor in the government’s pandemic response that more than a million have yet to get their second jab.
In a statement late on Friday, Galvez, the chief implementer of the National Task Force Against Covid-19, said only 113,000 out of more than 1.25 million vaccine recipients missed their second dose, which was “clearly and significantly lower than the one million being cited by a certain health expert.”
