SunStar March 17, 2021 THE Covid-19 Vaccination Program of the government aims to save lives and mitigate the impact of the pandemic by providing free and effective, high quality vaccines against Sars-CoV-2, prioritizing those most at-risk and most vulnerable populations. The pressing question, particularly those of the skeptics is, why do we need to get vaccinated? Of course, the answer to this is that vaccines have benefits and for the current health crisis that we are experiencing now, the vaccination program helps prevent symptomatic infection, severe infection, and transmission. The target is to have at least 70 percent of the population to be vaccinated which is known as herd immunity.
