It appears the goal of achieving herd immunity for the country by the end of the year is back on the agenda. A few weeks ago, when vaccine delivery was in trickles, it seemed the goal was abandoned. Our biggest procurement of 40 million doses from Pfizer will be delivered in large tranches beginning next month. San Miguel Corporation, for instance, seconded its medical teams to the government vaccination drive while awaiting delivery of its vaccine orders. If that is true, herd immunity should be achievable sooner than we might have imagined.
