TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Dec. 4 (PIA) -- In a week, those who received the complete dose of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines increased by 15,152, bringing the total fully vaccinated individuals here from 33% to 36%. 

Bohol health authorities have staked the 961,872 target population as the 70% of the total Bohol population target of the vaccination program. 

The increase in fully vaccinated individuals is swamped by the huge leap in the number of Boholanos who have eventually received the first dose.

From 48%, it went up to 54% of the prioritized groups in the masterlist of 961,872 individuals.

From 329,411 individuals who have received the primary two doses of the vaccines, the number increased to 344,563, which is 36% of the 70% of the target population. 

Of those who have received the first jabs until Nov. 25, they numbered 394,268.

On Dec. 2, the figure rose to 521,155, a jump of 126,887 due to the three-day National Vaccination Days (NVD) on Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1.

As of Dec. 2, about 34,963,067 Filipinos have received the full protection after getting the two doses of a two-dose and or single dose vaccine.

This, according to reports, is already equal to 45.32% of the total population of the country.

During the NVD, Bohol was given a three-day target of 239,224 individuals for vaccination but Bohol only committed to 167,457.

Getting the nearly 80,000 jabs a day was, according to local authorities, hard as even getting the 20,000 shots dispensed on a day is already a huge challenge.

While committing to the 55,819 daily target, Bohol could only deliver a little over 37,000 jabs a day for the three days of vaccine operations.

Overall, Bohol attained a 77.42% coverage of the committed number of jabs at the end of the three-day vaccination period. 

During the NVD, except for Tagbilaran City, only 10 of Bohol’s 48 local government units (LGUs) accomplished over 100% of their committed targets.

Tagbilaran City accomplished 259.89% of its committed number for vaccinations.  (ECB/PIA7 Bohol)
