Razon) MANILA - A total of 736,880 children aged 5 to 11 years old have been inoculated against Covid-19 since the pediatric vaccination started on February 7, a health official said Tuesday. "Inaasahan po natin na tataas pa ito sa darating na mga linggo kaya po ang lahat ng mga magulang at legal guardian ay amin pong hinihikayat na magparehistro na para sa kanila pong mga anak para sa karagdagang proteksiyon para sa lalong madaling panahon (We expect the numbers to rise in the coming weeks so we encourage parents and legal guardians to register their children for additional protection immediately)," Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said during an online media forum. Meantime, about 9.5 million adolescents have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. The Department of Health (DOH) also said almost 10 million Filipinos have received so far received booster shots. It assured the public that all vaccines administered as booster shots are of good quality and can provide additional protection against hospitalization or even death due to Covid-19. "Those who were vaccinated with AstraZeneca, Gamaleya Sputnik V and light, Moderna and Pfizer, Sinopharm and Sinovac can now receive their booster shots after three months and two months if you were vaccinated with Jansen," Vergeire said. She added the fully vaccinated can receive a different brand of Covid-19 as booster shot from their primary doses. She also reminded the public that adults who are 18 years old and above are eligible to receive their booster shots while children aged 5 to 11 years old may receive their primary series of Covid-19 jabs. 63 million fully vaccinated As the Resbakuna Program marked its first year anniversary, the DOH said the fully vaccinated Filipinos against Covid-19 reached 63 million. During its initial phase, the program prioritized inoculating the sectors who are at high risk of Covid-19 infection- the medical frontliners, senior citizens, and people with comorbidities. To date, data from the National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC) show that 93 percent of healthcare workers, 62.82 percent of senior citizens, and 92 percent of people with comorbidities have been fully vaccinated, respectively. "Coming from a peak in the number of cases in January, we now observe a decline as we realize a wider and extensive national vaccination coverage in addition to minimum public health standards. This provides a clearer picture of what the World Health Organization (WHO) had previously envisioned in countries with high vaccination rates, as transmissions of the virus do not automatically lead to pressuring the health system and its capacity," the DOH said in a news release on Tuesday. National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC) Chair and Undersecretary of Health of the Field Implementation and Coordination Team (NCR and Luzon) Myrna C. Cabotaje said with the ongoing efforts of the national government, "we are confident that we will be able to reach our target population as we make the vaccination coverage wider and more accessible for everyone." The DOH continues to work towards population protection through programs such as the National Vaccination Days, Resbakuna sa Botika, and vaccination in pharmacies, primary care and occupational health clinics, as well as air, sea, and transportation terminals for the elderly and vulnerable populations. As Metro Manila and 38 areas are placed under Alert Level 1, the DOH encouraged the public to recognize the importance of staying protected through vaccination and adherence to minimum health standard protocols with the easing of restrictions. "As the country marks the milestones of the Resbakuna program, I would like to sincerely thank the over 63 million Filipinos who have believed and trusted in our Covid-19 vaccines. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the national government agencies, local government units, civil society organizations, and development partners who took part in making all these possible. To our friends in the private sector, volunteers, and the media, the DOH truly appreciates the magnanimous efforts you have put in to make the program all the more successful. All of these further prove that vaccines and booster shots are still our best long-term solution in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic," Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III said. (PNA) }

Gov't ramps up bed capacity, testing amid rise in infections

(File photo) MANILA - The national government will be ramping up hospital bed capacity, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, and vaccination in the wake of record high daily Covid-19 infections. Acting Presidential Spokesperson, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, said the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) Sub-Technical Working Group (sTWG) on Data Analytics recommended implementing an increase in the availability of bed capacity in the National Capital Region (NCR) and surrounding areas (NCR Plus). NCR Plus is composed of the NCR and the nearby provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, and Rizal. He said the IATF-sTWG also recommended coordinating with the relevant stakeholders to integrate monitoring of the capacity of Temporary Treatment and Monitoring Facilities (TTMFs) in its measurement of health systems capacity. Nograles noted that the task force suggested ensuring that patients needing care are promptly and appropriately referred as well as reassessing the capacity of TTMFs, increasing TTMF capacity where needed, and removing any referral quotas from hospitals. He said the Department of Health (DOH) Field Implementation and Coordination Team (FICT) and the National Task Force (NTF) Health Facilities Sub-Cluster have been instructed to immediately communicate with NCR hospitals to determine how the Covid-19 bed capacity is being allocated. The NTF Health Facilities Sub-Cluster, together with the DOH Knowledge Management and Information Technology Service, were instructed to increase the capacity of telehealth and telemedicine outside NCR, he added. The One Hospital Command Center was recommended to ensure as close to real-time updating of health systems capacity as possible based on functional bed capacity to take into consideration the level of available health care workers. Functional triage areas Nograles said the IATF sTWG on Data Analytics tasked the Community Response Cluster and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to ensure that Emergency Operations Centers with functional triage areas are in place in all local government units (LGUs). These triage areas shall oversee patient navigation so that only those needing hospitalization are brought to the health facilities. They are also directed to ensure that those undergoing home isolation or quarantine are monitored by Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams and that access to testing, treatment, and facility referral be made available, especially for the elderly, those with comorbidities, or those belonging to vulnerable sectors. They have likewise been directed to intensify active case finding in the NCR Plus areas and to intensify active case finding and contact tracing strictly up to the 3rd generation in all areas under Alert Level 2. Increase Covid-19 testing, vaccination To handle the influx of tests, Nograles said the IATF sTWG on Data Analytics recommended the Covid-19 Laboratory Network to increase RT-PCR testing capacity in NCR Plus by ensuring that laboratories are operational seven days a week. The IATF sTWG also recommended prioritizing senior citizens and persons with comorbidities or those under the A2 and A3 priority list. Applications for Licenses to Operate for new RT-PCR laboratories were recommended to be fast-tracked. The IATF sTWG was also urged to promptly provide commodities for swabbing and testing. The National Vaccination Operations Center was also directed to increase vaccination rates outside NCR "as soon as possible." To date, over 50 million individuals in the Philippines are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Isolate Meanwhile, Nograles urged symptomatic Covid-190 patients to immediately isolate to help slow down the spread of Covid-19 infections. On the other hand, those with mild or asymptomatic Covid-19 may isolate themselves in their own homes. He, however, said LGUs should be able to provide services such as telemedicine and immediate referral so that those requiring additional management may be assessed and treated appropriately. On Sunday, the DOH reported 28,707 new Covid-19 cases-the highest daily cases since the pandemic started-bringing the country's total caseload to 2,965,447. (PNA) }
