MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines on Monday marked over 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered since the country began in March its goal to inoculate millions this year. It would translate to 2,525,286 Filipinos now fully vaccinated for COVID-19, while 7,538,128 have received their first shot. The Philippines undertook the crucial inoculation efforts nearly four months ago, with officials targetting to vaccinate up to 70 million by year-end. As June nears its end, 1,131,498 health workers have completed their shots, with 1,669,660 who got their first dose. Among essential workers — a sub-priority group that includes around 35 million — 12,340 have received their two doses, while 829,662 have received their first dose.
