Bohol needs half million vax to hit herd immunity


CEBU CITY, Cebu, Feb. 2 (PIA) -- With the recent updated list of individuals identified for vaccination following the opening of minors for inoculation against coronavirus disease, Bohol would need at least 570,12 more vaccine doses to achieve its goal of herd immunity. 

The number does not include the booster doses which the government is also giving out after individuals have received their full doses of the vaccine. 

In its Jan. 2 report, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of the Bohol Provincial Vaccine Operations Center (PVOC) based at the Provincial Health Office upgraded its number of eligible population in the masterlist to 1,009,34.

This figure already reflects the 12 to 17-year-old population that has been included in the expanded sector for vaccination. 

With this number, and with at least two doses needed for an individual to get full protection against the virus, Bohol would need 2,019,268 doses to reach 70% of its population.

Health experts and epidemiologists have theorized that with at least 70% of the total population vaccinated, the chances of transmitting the virus significantly lessens. 

In the same EOC report, since March 6, Bohol has received 1,449,142 vaccines already.

As of Jan. 30, some 574,742 Boholanos have been given their two doses of the vaccines.

Another 682,807 have received the first dose, and in at least a month, could already get the second and full dose of the anti-COVID vaccine.

As of Jan. 30, Bohol has in its vaccine storage facilities some 446,617 doses for its vaccination operations in the next few weeks. (RAHC/PIA7 Bohol)
