June 28, 2021 It is still possible to reach herd immunity in the National Capital Region (NCR) and eight other places in the country against COVID-19 by Christmas if the government ensures that the Delta variant originating from India will not spread in the Philippines. Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, a member of OCTA, said he is confident that herd immunity will be achieved with NCR Plus 8 even though only 2.25 million or 3.87% of the population were fully vaccinated on June 22. It was also learned that 8.9 million doses of the vaccine were distributed by the government. “Given the numbers, our hope that we will reach herd immunity in NCR Plus 8 by Christmas is reasonable. This does not take into effect the Delta variant,” said Austriaco.
